    Investigate. The contacts must be wonky or a wire loose perhaps.

    Disconnect the contacts, and spray some WD40 on them. Its probably just a bit of corrosion around the contacts.

    Alternatively try Viagra. :D

    It is usually found around the radiator grill area. Looks like a circular disc with another disc in the centre. (See pic). There will be two small (detachable) wires running onto it.

    Good luck...

    Unless the horn is also used for an alarm in some models of seicento, in which case it will be hidden behind a bumper or somewhere else horrible.

    I'd put my money on the switch on the steering wheel though.

    I knew before I opened this thread that somebody was going to say that!!!

    Sounds like a loose connection but you'd never know with a fiat, my father had a bravo a few years back that refused to start when the engine was warm, ie if he went into a shp for a paper and came back out to the car it wouldn't start
