The button in question is for the the switching between high and low beams on your headlights. Horn button should be on the dash. Horn mounting, could have been as stated above, could also be on the side of the radiator, one of mine had them mounted similar to ERA, center front cross member.

Take a picture of your dash and post it here.

I have the horn button (which was working last year) but nothing happens now. Checked fuse box but trying to locate the horn to test it.

Also trying to figure out how to turn on high beams and hazards.

The horn button is Lucas - nothing from Lucas is reliable. Did you check the button?

Might not have hazards, high beams should turn on when motor is running, and headlights are on, click switch in turn signal stalk and high beams will come on if they are still good (they do burn out, most people ignore them, so never realize this has occurred). The stalk is a VW item and still available from dozens of suppliers (CLICK HERE). Headlight and horn relay (CLICK HERE) also Volkswagen, and available over the counter at your local auto parts store.

Horn, yes, check under the dash to see if the wire has pulled from the back of the button itself. Otherwise, time to start looking at the front end of the car for where the horns are mounted, if not factory built, they could be anywhere ahead of the firewall.

Thanks!! I was testing the high beam switch with the car off, that’s probably why it wasn’t working.

For the horn button I checked the two green wires first to make sure they were still attached. I’ll crawl under there today and jump them to rule out the button.

I appreciate everyone’s help!
