Looking at the pics of members cars, this member asked this question regarding his VW, so I moved it here and PM'ed him to let him know. His site name is evangelos. Here it is:


hello gurus,

lately i have been having trouble with my horn working on and off. i removed the steering wheel to remove the brass flass. right after that the horn still didn't work, i checked the contacts and all was good. i checked the wires and they are connected but i did not test them for power yet.

a few days ago i noticed the radio stopped working but i do not know if they are related. should i open the dash to check for the radio fuse? is there a relay that controls both accesories?

can i get some help please.


Evan



All yours, guys. Fire away.

checking all the fuses is always a good start. Not very difficult. Don't require and tools or any know how...

Checking the relay's is a little harder however you would need a multimeter

Well you're a very kind bloke for trying to help someone out!

yeah the french section seems to be lacking. There is tin tin, moise and like ... maybe 10 others on the french section  :(
i wish there was like an auto translate between sections so the french and english would mingle easier.

auto translation would be um.... near impossible.  well... it could work, but some stuff just doesn't make much sense  :lol:

yeah i know. I have grade 11 french :P

some sentences would be backwards and some would just be bizzare and unusual and SOME would be missing words as english and french have some words that don't really cross over!

but the idea was enticing to me!
