I have a couple of electrical faults in my 08 Jimny.
The horn is not working. Fuse OK. No voltage at the horn when activated. What else could it be. I didn't want to play with the steering wheel air bag till I kmew what I was doing. Should I disable the air bag control unit underneath at the top of the column before I start? Or is there another possible cause?
? Could be lots of causes, for sure there's no power at the horn?
Airbag dash light. This has been on for a while, and predates the horn failure.
Maybe body lift has stretched or disconnected something
HIDs sometimes do not both turn on. I think this is voltage related. I find I need to have the revs up to ensure they both fire. I've got 20AMP wiring to the relay and lights.
I don't have any volt supply issues, alternator ok? Sounds like something is affecting a range of components.
Extra wiring. Where to put an extra fuse rack. Little room under the bonnet, with air box, brake booster, ABS, ARB pump etc. Is there such a unit as a spade fuse panel with the all terminals (entry and exit) on the one side, or underneath, or perhaps common rail?
ABS under the bonnet wastes a heap of space. Mount stuff to the underside of the bonnet maybe.
Exhaust. I have a rather large muffler under the rear which I have hit on a rock, and is now deforming my panhard. Is smaller muffler (say half the size) that would still keep the noise to a minimum?
