Few Electrical issues to sort! - Land Rovers Only

LANDY96 · 05-14-2006, 09:37 AM

I finally got the Cruise control working on my 99 DII. Thing is, I am not sure how it happened. So if some one could 'splain it to me! I also discovered that the Horn was not working. Found the fuse is burned. Replaced, it, and it worked ok, sounded muted though! While I was there, I removed the plug for the vaccum pump, inspected it, then put it back. Well, took it for a drive, and the horn stopped working, but the cruise control still works! I juggled the fuse, for the Horn, and then it started working again. A little while later it stopped again!
First Q.- Is the cruise control fuse, and the Horn connected? Can't tell by the "symbols" on the covers.
Second Q.- Since the Horn is intermittent, do you think it is a bad connection, or a relay problem.
Thanks!!

If your horn sounds muted, it may be failing which could blow a fuse at some point. I don't think the horn and cruise control are tied together on the same fuse.

actually the horn and the cruise control use the same steering wheel wiring. ITs all on the same harness.

I wonder if the harness end isnt pulled where it contacts the steering column clockspring.
