Hi there, my horn has finally given out on my alfa 147 after threatening for some time, horn itself works fine but no power going to it, connections and fuse seem fine but does anyone know if there's a there a relay on the 147? seen plenty of threads on this for the 156 but the fuse on the 147 is in a different place (next to the battery), so if anyone has any info? I think next step is steering wheel off but don't want to do it if its just a relay!

Thanks

usually the problem is in the steering wheel, see :

The relay should be in the fusebox under the steering wheel.

I have fitted a trainhorn instead of the standard horn, I fitted an extra relay for the extra power needed for the compressor. Did you check the red cable for 12V DC and proper earth on the black?

with regards to the airbag, it's a good idea to disconnect the negative lead of the battery half an hour or so beforehand

Yep problem was inside the steering wheel as expected, surprisingly quick fix thanks for the help guys!

I have an Alfa GT with a horn (or lack of a horn!) issue. I have checked the fuse but cannot pinpoint the relay location.Anyone have any idea or a pic?

Thanks in advance.
