I might consult the manual if there is anything it has to say on this).- Horn had issue where it was really intermittent and I checked connections at the front and they were fine, horn started working a few weeks ago and has worked perfect since.- Lights appear "red" in colour, but as I said as if there is a globe sitting behind it, no light leaks in from anywhere else only those two mentioned earlier.What the hell could be going on? Could I have issues with the wiring in/around my steering wheel/etc? It could explain an issue with the traction control light coming up possibly (even though mine is BA with no dsc I believe). I really feel like pulling the cluster out is a big job, I might look into this now. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My horn was funny, it started to work when I held it down in anger but was like turning a volume knob up as the longer I held it got better and better until it started working perfectly (except for the dash lights coming up).before that it was intermittant it either worked or it didnt.
