My dad had the same problem but only when he turned the steering wheel, in the end he found the problem was the spool of wire inside the steering wheel, the plastic coating had worn off and was shorting. If you do decide to take off the steering wheel then before you do anything then disconnect the positive battery terminal under the seat so that the airbag does not deploy. if this is not the source of the problem then it may be a problem with wiring somewhere else or mayby even a faulty horn. Hope this helps.

Hi,

There would only be three (3) possibilities for a continuous blowing of horn:
1. defective/shorted horn relay ( very unlikely);
2. defective/shorted horn switch (very likely); and/or
3. shorted/grounded wiring (likely).

The horn switch is the contact switch normally embedded into the steering wheel.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

I overfilled my 07 525i with oil and now the car is smoking heavy white smoke out the tail pipe and shaking, could I have damaged my car and what should I do?

drain the oil and refill to much oil is not good for seals a could produce to much pressure when the car is running which could blow seals and have them start to leak

How do I add tranny fluid to my 1992 BMW 525i

If there is a dipstick, add the proper fluid to the dipstick fillter tube. If there is no dipstick, there are drain plugs on the side that will have to be removed to check the level, at normal operating temperature.

Maybe check autozone.com for further information. There are two brands of transmission used in the BMWs of that era. ZF and GM transmissions. There are also a number of types of transmission used in the BMW 525i vehicles.

Check online for a service bulletin regarding the automatic transmission used in your vehicle, or check with the dealer.

I found a service bulletin that's in black and white, but it was not pastable to the fixya.com website.
Sorry, about that.

Good luck on finding a solution to adding transmission fluid to your 1992 BMW 525i vehicle.
