Inside the COM2000 - a "How Not To"

[benczuk]

Holy thread resurrection!

3D printed by the looks of it surprised there is a big enough market to make it worth the bother.

Well Steve,
I followed your How to & this How Not To, Today as I have had a none functioning horn since I bought the car back in April .
Yes I've been putting it off for that long (cue lot's of ring clenching ) , So today had a bash at it due to mot looming .
I also thought I'd have a go at the COM 2000.
As also as long as I've had it I've had flopy stalk sydrome ,with the usual right to left when canceling prob's .
Well I can report that IT WORKS & very well .
It was a pig of a job to do the COM 2000 but well worth it, I will post up the pic's & info I have gained later on as I'm of for a beer now, But it can tell you all that it's worth doing as I've just prolonged the life of mine by at least two years I guess & also prolonged having to shell out £150.00 .
I also have a fully functioning horn
So Steve thanks a lot mate, your post's on this subject proved invaluble

For what it's worth, I know it's an old thread resurructed but when I worked on motors for a living, it was quite a common 'fault' on a variety of cars. Track alignment being done by only adjusting one side, then refitting the steering wheel to centre it. Throws the whole self-cancelling gizmos out of synch. Worth a look?

I know what you're talking about (the Ackerman angles are up the creek too) but this seems to be down to a part in the switch wearing out and being extremely expensive to replace as PSA only sell the whole thing.
