Horn is now kaputt

clausy · 06-03-2010, 08:22 PM

Seriously. Tried to use the horn and it sounds like someone constipated blowing into a tuba from the wrong end. I can feel the vibration in the gas pedal.

WTF. Are the horns like Framm air horns? Do I have a dead mouse in it? I was pretty certain it would be electronic. Where is it located.

This would be my 9th trip to the dealer in my 1st 6 months of 1'er ownership.

It's down low passenger side. You could have a dead squirrel in it.

Wow. I definitely feel like the 135i has more problems than the 128i. Sorry to hear about your frequent dealer visits!

My ford has a short where if you use the cruise control and hit the horn with it on the fuse blows...yes they are both on the same fuse for some reason.

Check the fuse box behind the glovebox. You might have a short.

It seems common problem, many people complain. I do not use mine, so perhaps it is broken too.

You should probably replace it with one tha plays La Cucaracha.

it does.

with that said, the fun factor of the n54 makes up for that.

But I can't really complain... 6 months... no issues at all

I just used my horn on Tuesday. It sounded like one one of the tones was working. I will get it looked at next time I bring it in.
