Just fitted a new battery to my K1 Gixer , all good apart from the horn not working , was ok before . MOT next Sat so need to sort it , please help

i would say the next step is to get a wiring diagram and find the live feed wire to the instrument panel ,then take your screen off and check the connector to the back of the clocks is good with no corroded connections and then check the live feed is there with a meter or power probe and the earth also of course.

Have you cleared all the faults?
Try it again after clearing.

this really depends what car it is but the horn is usualy mounted behind the front bumper area, please check the fuse i n the fuse box.. if the horn is good and the fuse is as well then check the horn push

Quite likely just a dirty contact under the horn push or a bad contact on one of the wires leading to the car. Of course it could be the actual horn its-self as it is a V reg. Obviously you have to sort this as a non working horn is an MOT failure. You know what, i use my horn on average once a year, when i am giving the car a pre mot look over. True! I can say with 100% honesty that i have not used the horn for at least 5 years [and maybe double that] apart from during that check.

I have often wondered what an MOT tester would do if you turned up with one of those shiny metal trumpet with a rubber bulb on the end [did you have one on your bike as a kid?] taped to the door mirror neck. I believe that the actual mot requirement is a working audible wraning device !

Check the indicator relay for power in & out
This is the most likely!

Hope this helps (if so please mark as very helpful)

www.katriders.com is a great resource they have guides for interchanging parts.

The K1 is not an easy one to take apart compared to others. I would not recommend it. Plus once it is taken apart you lose the seal. I rarely charge my K1 using my phone. I purchased a unit for under $10 to charge my batteries on. I like to have an extra battery for my cell so I am never without service while it charges.
It will cost you more to get the piece replaced on your K1 than it would to get a seperate charger for a battery. If you need help let me know. I will help you locate a charger if needed.

this is not that easy but i can help with an expert site that gives unlock codes www.unlockdatabase.com

If the phone still works, check to see if the left side of the hinge (when the phone is open and facing you) is loose. If you can wiggle the top 1/2 of the phone, the hinge is damaged, therefore damaging the flex cable that runs through it. If that is the case, replace the hinge assembly and the flex and you're good.

The K1 is no joke to take apart. Flex replacement requires full disassembly. I would recommend checking out www.wirelessunlimitedinc.com, or www.myspace.com/wirelessunlimited to have it done professionally, less than Motorola will charge you.

Or give it a shot if you want, you need a T5 Torx and lots of patience and care.
