Possibly wire up your own temporary horn push/switch for the MOT.

yeh i was thinking that tbh,

how would i go about it? the horn/siren has to conectors for wires, would i just run one wire from one of them up to the steering wheel push? (connect it to the wire from the push to like the boss kit?)

need to get it done so all help welcome!

right then one wire has to earth to the wheel its self and then the other wire will provide the power to it , iirc there is a wire that goes to that little pin i mention before , is that there ?

yeh theres a brown/white wire that goes to the pin thing, then the ring thing has one wire from it which conects to the horn push

no earth to the wheel tho?!?

yeah well you need to run a wire from the 2nd spade on the push to and earth on the wheel boss and it should work

The second terminal on the horn sounder.
One brings 12v ign to the horn.

The other wire is wired to the steering wheel ring, it earths when the ring contacts, and so the horn sounds.
