I should add, as I tried to recall exactly what happened back then, I remembered that even after I replaced my clock spring, I had no horns, as my horns were faulty from water intrusion into the horns themselves, and upon just looking at my post number 84, not only did the buttons not illuminate, none of the buttons performed their function.
So I would definitely check at the horns first, and if you need a clock spring, be sure to check around before paying a ridiculous amount for a "Bentley" part, I picked mine up off of eBay back then for $19.99 delivery, used of course.
Yes, the part was the same IIRC for a VW Touareg, Audi A4, S4, possibly even the A8, I can double check the part number as I have two sitting on the shelf up at the garage.
I believe it to be 8E0953541D, I would have to double check, as I cannot believe it's been 9+ years since I purchased it off Ebay, and eBay only goes back to 2017 for my purchase history.

If it ends up that you need one, let me know, I will check the part numbers out on the shelf units possibly tomorrow, then we can discuss shipping details in private messages.
If there's power to the horn and it doesn't work, look for a very small bolt somewhere on the horn body and give it a twist. While not on a Bentley, I've done this before with horns that stop working and it's always been a fix.
@Precizion ,
You have 2 horns, 1 high, 1 low as shown in my picture.
As Bruce stated about the bolt, I remember those on old horns back in the day, it was to adjust the tone somewhat iirc, but first gen Bentley horns don't have them, BUT, if you have power, you could try tapping on the horn while someone hit the horn pad, I did this with mine, it worked for a little bit, but be careful, as they are plastic.
Hi Johnny, I undid the seat bolts & tilted it back for better pics as you suggested. You can see the loose Plug & Socket that do not 'marry'. The Socket has a fixing stud, as does the cable (2 in fact) but can't see where they go?
Checking the fuses, I.found that the R/H Fuel Pump has no fuse, which I am bery confused about as the car goes like a dream!?
Hello @Precizion ,
Please retake some pictures of the seat wiring area, your pictures are too close, and do not show everything, take quite a few if you would please, also, you never posted the picture of the sensor you say was in the glovebox.
As to your fuel pump fuse comment, you post a picture of the front facia fuse panel, whereas the fuel pump fuses are in the boot fuse panel, numbers 34 and 35, see the attached manual for all fuse locations.
Hello @Precizion ,
Please see my previous post number 28 if you haven't, as I posted twice in a row.
Here are the airbag connectors on my 2005 GT main wiring harness, seat frame/side airbag, and the seatbelt clasp/igniter, please take your pictures in the same way as so we can understand just what plugs you have, if indeed they are different.
There are only 3 connections, 2 for the seatbelt clasp/igniter, and 1 for the seat side airbag, they are as pictured, 1 green connection for the seatbelt igniter, 1 purple (2 pin) connection for the seatbelt clasp sensor, and 1 purple (3 pin/slot) for the seat side airbag.
I am not sure if you knew that lids on the green igniter and purple side airbag connectors have to be pressed at one end to flip the lid open, so I showed it in the pictures.
