I think the thread was actually started by the guy who used to own my Campaign - Verve was his username I think.

First thing - check the steering column is earthed!! On my LHD this was missing so I put in a short wire between steering column and car body/steering rack clamp. Hey presto it worked!
Test it with the key in the lock and turned so the steering lock pin is withdrawn. After extensive testing I found mine was earthed when the key was out, but not with the key in and ignition on! Took me hours to trace that fault!! Can't remember how I got round it now, but it now works.
Also check the relay if fitted pretty obvious I know, but I don't know what you've checked already so start with the simple stuff. I know all golfs with twin tone horns had a relay, not sure about other models.
