Where is the horn on a 3200?

[bean79]

Hi

A twonk in a 5 series didn't see me yesterday and nearly took off my front wing. I went for the horn but nothing!

Is the horn operated from the centre of the steering wheel?

My car was mot'd two weeks ago in preparation for me buying it so it must have been working.

No its the thumb part if the rim.

Yes the picture of the horn is on the leather although they do wear over time.

Thanks. I will have a look later.

I remember that on my 4200

Then when I *did* find it, it didn't work, anyway.

Couldn't give a hoot! </Two Ronnies>

Mine used to blow the fuse, often after the switch stuck "ON". Only had to drive 3-4 minutes

Get a louder exhaust and you don't need a horn! ;-)

Not used my horn since installing Larinis

Classic Maserati Owner not knowing where essential safety equipment is.
When I first bought mine I could not - open the fuel cap, bonnet or work out how to switch off my hazard warning lights when I accidentally flicked the switch.
Suitably embarrassed.

On a GTS? Wow that takes it to the next level! At least on a 3200 the button for the fuel flap is hidden in the glovebox but on a GTS it's a small reach from the steering wheel!

This thread has me in tears.....haha....i honestly dont htink i ever used my horn but the place they put it was silly....a bit like the fuel flap button

 

[bean79]

Ha ha. Found them now, thanks. Embarassingly the horn sign is not faded at all and is very clear.

I think I need to stop being paranoid that if I can find something it must be broken! I should have more faith.

In my defence, I've not had much cause to use mine, but I tend to open the boot when I want fuel....

I thought my boot button was broken only to be told that they don't work when the engine is running....

Done that!
I end up getting out the car and pretend I am looking for something in the boot before closing it and then taking the fuel cap off. :-(

That won't work. I have to go back in the car to release the fuel cap

When I pressed the wrong one by mistake I realised what I did. Different "clunk" noise. So pressed the fuel flap immediately afterwards.

Ahh! Clever! Mine make the same noise. Well you can't hear the boot, really

Which is fine if you are at a self-service petrol station but in Spain over the last couple of weeks most were attended... which adds to the embarrassment.
