Hello guys,

I have an issue, security one -- as it is concerning inability to use horn.

From time to time, horn is not working -- the only way I can "enable" is that I scroll up/down volume button on steering wheel, and after second/two -- when I see/hear volume change the horn starts again to work.

My car is Octavia II FL DSG 2.0 LK with Columbus.

Anyone know what might be happening with this issue? It seems it is not mechanic, as turning around steering wheel does not unlock the horn.

Thank you!

V

Hate to bump this thread, just wondering if anyone have any clue about the issue?

TIA

Faulty steering wheel controller?

could also be a short in the mfsw airbag loom

Bumping some old thread here, but have some more information.

 

Guys switched my battery, but in such way that they removed completely old battery, disconnect it fully and then connect new one; which somehow "rebooted to factory settings". After that, there were no issue only up to when I wash the car first time.

 

Now, it is same old, when it is colder I need to trigger volume up/down on the steering wheel in order do have working electronics on the wheel. After that it works for a minute, then again I need to spin that volume wheel in order to work.

 

Tried to explain to the Skoda representative, but they are completely blunt about this.

 

Hopefully this will give someone more inside and guide me in right direction.

 

Thanks!

dodgy horn connection / earthing is my guess ?
