I have a horn that is not working on my 87 benz e class. I tested the horn to the batterie and it works. so it is obviously in the wiring most likely in the steering collumn. I just want to have a toggle switch or push button on the dash to get away from fixing the steering collumn (quick fix). i dont have the time or patients for this troubleshooting and i have to pass an instpection for my vehichle registration in germany. its a real pain in the ass. if i dont get it reregistered by wednesday i will have to have it towed to this impound place on our military installation. ive heard of people installing push button horns to pass the inspection. I just need a little advise. Thanks.
Run a wire from the battery (or the battery 'hot' terminal in the fuse box) to the switch and from the switch to the horn.
Assuming the 'other' side of the horn is properly grounded, push button, horn honks.
This is quick and dirty to get you through the inspection, I wouldn't leave it like this, the horn probably draws more than the switch will carry, so should at least be through a relay - but for most folks, that gets beyond the quick fix.
