1998 WRX JDM Clockspring

[markat]

Hi all,

 

Anyone got a clockspring for a 1998 JDM WRX?

My horn's stopped working and I reckon this is the problem.

I have no relay click when pressing the horn and have already replaced the horn unit itself.

Here's hoping as it's MOT time soon.

Would an option be to have the horn off a switch instead or would that not pass an MOT?

Weird as the airbag light is not on.

 

Cheers

 

Mark.

I once used a doorbell button for my horn on a beetle :) never got it MOT'd with it though.

as long as you have a button that can be operated from the drivers seat ie on steering wheel or end of stalk it will pass - I dont think dash mounted counts

been looking at something else and discovered that Morgans still have a dash mounted horn switch so it must be ok

Ive foudn this:

 

MOT Test of Horn

• Operation
• Control can be easily reached by the driver
• Loud enough
• Not a sequential multi-tone.

Further Information
Pre
1906 vehicles can have a gong, bell or siren audible warning, provided
they were designed before 1 January 1905 and constructed before 31
December 1905.

Reason for Rejection

• The horn control missing, insecure or not readily accessible to the driver.

Note: Inform the driver if the horn is insecure.

Or the horn is

• inoperative
• is not loud enough to be heard by another road user
• is a gong, bell or siren
• has more than one tone

Note:
When operated, a two or more tone horn automatically produces a sound
which alternates at regular intervals between fixed notes

If fitted to a vehicle first used on or after 1 August 1973, emits a sound which is

• Not continuous or uniform
• Harsh or grating

 

So, I might be ok with a separate switch. Bet that'll look nice :(

I would maybe get a start button off eBay have that as the horn, just to make it look like a push button start.

and then watch your mates try and start it on the button :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

almost as funny as wiring it to the brake :D
