F56 Horn Button

[rossybee]

We have a 2015 F56 Cooper, horn button works intermittently, seems only to work when the button is pushed at certain bits round the edge, def not in the centre.

MOT due at end of Dec - I read someplace they can have connection issues - should it try remove the wheel centre?

Easy to do?, and should I disconnect the battery first?

Thanks in advance

Seems like a know issue

Just fixed it. Getting the clips to errr unclip was a ball ache (bottom one was easy, the other two not) but horn now working perfectly.

Thanks again

You're welcome.

I have the feeling I might need to do mine again soon. I'm wondering if a coating of grease might slow down the oxidation process.
