[b]Description of problem Ok this is how it is my mini beeps when it wants! randomly, i might be going past a really fit girl or anything and it just beeps away! i dont mean a blip i mean full on horn action. Well to stop this i push my dash forward its not tight (need to adjust the holding bracket in the centre) and it seems to stop if you hit the right spot. Now it happens when i go over some bumps, so what i'm thinking is a wire issue, but is it with the horn or alarm??? its a standard rover alarm... i know prob the only way i will see is to remove the dash.But i was hoping somebody out there must have some advice clues or tips to help moi in the solvage of this embarrassing issue

[the_bruiser]

to be honest it can be funny but then also some people just dont seem to see they funny side lmao, wonder what % of mini drivers get road rage..gotta be low i'm smiling and chilled in the mini nearly all the time...its everyone else who gets uptight lol beep beep!!!!

Simple, you have a short somewhere so the horn goes off. Give the loom a bit of a wiggle. It will either make it happen or worse.

your lucky my horn dont even work and i can figure it out lol

[octagonalpaul]

sounds like a proper mini, has a mind of its own! Should be a dodgy part in the wiring, if you can find where the wires to the horn go, have a look to see what might be causing the horn to go off. Could be touching something to set it off?

my horn had stopped working and for the life of me couldnt figure it out...then checked under the bonnet and my dad had managed to disconnect it when he was checking something else the silly fool

wish mine was disconnected id ont seem to be getting any sort of power to the lead that connects to the horn any ideas boys/gals??

find out what wires are for the horn, whack a multimeter on em and take it from there

i believe the one going to the horn from the stalk is purple/black, if u push the horn and no power is going through it then backtrack till u find the fault
