Horn not working in my 2005 mercedes clk500

My horn doesnt work and the lights above the sun visor mirrors

  • niceballshor May 20, 2009

    The lights don't go on at all and I would love to replace the fuse but in the mercedes there are 2 fuse panels one in the dashboard and one under the hood there isn't a diagram to tell you wich fuse is for the horn

    Thank you for using FixYa.com!

    Can you please clarify your request?



    I understand the horn doesn't work, but what is the problem with the mirror lights? Do they work at all, sometimes? never?

    Do they flicker?



    All cars have a fuse box either inside one of the kick plates in the driver or passengerarea, or they have a fuse box inside the engine compartment. More often than not, a horn not working is a direct effect of a blown fuse.



    Check your owner's manual for the location of the fuse box and the location of the horn fuse. The manual should also tell you the correct amperage for the horn fuse. If you find that the fuse is blown or missing, replace it ONLY with a fuse of the same aperage. If you use one that is not high enough, it will probably blow as soon as you try to use the horn. If you use one that is too high, and there is a short somewhere, your electrical system may malfunction (worst case scenario) to the point of melting he plastic jacket off the wires. THis can easily cause an electrical fire in your car.

Sun visor lights,... remove the sun visor clips you will find a copper insert inside the clip if this has broken (they do) you will need to replace them they 're about $12-15 ea. put them in & open your mirror "Gorgeous"
For the horn check the wire leads on the horn they are probably loose

I just bought a used Hundai Sante fe and the lights over the vanity mirrors in the sun visors and i dont know if it is an extra clock in between the sun visors are not working have checked all the fuses...

ok.. you either bought the lights over the vanity mirrors in the sun visors... or the lights are not working in the sun visors???? Wow man!... think you could take additional classes in the English language? ... what's this issue with 'extra clock' in between the sun visors are not working'???? Tell you what, since you're convinced you have a problem, Go to www.hmaservice.com and register( Vehicle by VIN). Afterward, you have access to shop manuals, service bulletins, wiring diagrams, etc. about your vehicle.

Unknown equipment.

never seen one before... but my best guess would be to keep the sun out. when you put down your visor it doesn't always stop sun from being in your eyes
