wife came home from work this evening about ten saying the horn keeps beeping. i thought she must be accidently hitting the steering wheel buttons. we have only had the td5 a few weeks now, so basically ignored her.
well i`ve finally pulled the fuse and relay for the horn after waking up the neighbourhood for the second time this evening. once at 1am and just now.
now i`m wide awake and can`t get back to sleep.
guess i`ll be rooting round the steering column in a few hours with my avo.
if its happened to any one else and theres some where else i should be looking. let me know.

There's been threads on this before, it is those buttons giving you the problem I didn't take much notice as I don't have then but I believe a plastic clip breaks or something like that and that's something you can't get hold off, but then it may be something else.

Check the buttons on the steering wheel, they do stick and then start beeping when they want (4am etc etc!!) it's a right pain!!

ok guys. thanks for that.
so can i gently prize the middle bit of the steering wheel off, so as to get at the switches. hopefully without setting of the air bag.

My TD5 did this it was stuck buttons, no need to take cover off s/wheel just ensure buttons sit central in there holes as they do move about a bit.

Good luck noisey!

well after lots of searching. i think you`ve hit the nail on the head there matt. can`t actually find anything wrong with the wiring or switches. except they rattle around a bit.
i`m still going to leave the fuse out tonight though. neighbours can only take so much

.
thanks every one
