Horn problems!

alright chaps,

Just turned into my drive on the way home from work today and the cat was trying to play chicken with me.... and doing pretty well, so i thought id play my ace card and hit the horn. I did, and nothing happened.
However the cat did move so i won!

But now i have a new problem, my horn doesnt work.
Only ever used it once, the day i bought it, and that was to only make sure everything worked.

Not had a chance to take a look yet, but any ideas? Is it a common problem?

Not had an accident or bumps or anything, couldnt see any loose/broken wires on a quick inspection. Press the switch and just nothing!

This may be a bit premature since i've not had a proper look yet.

But any ideas anyone?

I can only find a diagram for the 05 model, but should be similar.. It has the horn and the brake lights off the same fuse, so if you brake light works then the fuse is OK. The horns are cheaply made so not unusual for them to just die. new ones are not expensive and can be a life saver if you buy a replacement that actually works better than the original, Stebel horns are great. Your horn needs an earth so check that it is OK (black/white wire) obviously if you don't get power down to the horn on the orange/green wire when you press the button then have a check of the horn press button. best of luck, Dave

big help! il have a look tomorrow! thanks

Just do a search..... this issue has been done to death.

Ok so done to death, BUT, could someone post a picture where you may have fitted a Stebel horn on the SV. I have used them on other bikes and have got one for my sons SV but fixing is close to the brake pipes. Dave.
