If I remove the jumper cable and try each horn, they both stall the car

Ok, so I tried each individual horn whilst I had the jumper cable attached to the positive battery terminal and the live horn wire. Each horn works fine and the car does not stall.

Run a new (fused) wire from battery to the horn.

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

If I made a fused wire from the battery positive to the live on the horn, are there any potential problems that could happen?

I would defo need a walkthrough though as I’ve never used one lol
Such a weird problem in that it only affects one thing on the car? Everything else works perfectly.
Cant wait to try and put in a stereo and speakers- that’s going to be fun

My Golfs only done about 500 miles in 10 years of ownership so going for a drive is probably a good idea lol
