Colin Lindsay Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Just spent hours working on a 2015 Freelander; gave up on the oil change as firstly I couldn't find the filter and secondly the large skid plate under the engine wouldn't come off due to one of the bolts being rounded off. I'll have to wait until the lift is free (or take it my local garage where I'll supply the oil and filter, he can have the hassle and usually only charges me about £40) However the horns aren't working. I've no idea if it's the fault of the twin switches on the steering wheel, or the horns themselves, as I can't find them. I was all over / under / around the engine for ages with an inspection lamp and can't see them at all. Anyone know where they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Colin - If they aren't working and you can't find them...!!!?? ..are you sure that they are actually there??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted June 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 No... but I can't prove that they're not there until I find out where they're meant to be, and then confirm that they're not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Maybe the R*mmer's parts catalogue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglefire Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Clock spring is often a cause of many a fault if my experience of Land Rovers is to go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be, Mark, but to me the simplest way of testing anything is to connect a new set of cheapie horns to the terminals - if they work, happy days. Problem is that I can't find the old horns to reconnect the terminals. If that doesn't work then it's off with the steering wheel - I just love airbags - and work along the circuit from there.

Pete Lewis Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 you could fit a BELL there must be a horn relay you could take a revised feed from there to run a pair of windtones Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Twitchen Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Something rings a bell (sorry) that says the horn switches rely on an airbag rotary contact unit. On an older Freelander the horn is on the right hand side, looking from the front, under an air inlet hose iirc. Dick ps Good weather time to go sailing in the Shrimper for a gathering in The Solent for 4 days to get over going the pub last night with another GT6 to find 30 of the Chichester MGOC there!

Anglefire Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Just found this. Front of engine, at top on lefthand side. Will need to remove battery and air inlet hose to get to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about that post made me think that it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglefire Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Found a wiring diagram......... L359-09MY_JOB1_ENGINEERING_LHD.book (freel2.com) LHD but can't be much different. Can it? Not that it helps you actually find it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
