I'd make sure the horn was good first. Run a wire directly from the + side of the battery to your one prong. the horn should sound. If it doesn't, remove the horn and touch the mounting bolt to the negative terminal of the battery and the same jumper wire you had before from the battery + to the terminal of the horn. If it still doesn't sound, you have a bad horn. If it DOES sound, it means that you don't have a good ground for the horn and you need to either run the other wire (from the original horn) to the bolt on the horn, or clean up the frame mount to give a good ground. Now you knopdw that you have a good horn, and a good ground. If it STILL doesn't work, you either have a bad relay or a bad switch. If you hold the hot horn wire from the switch to a 12v bulb and the other part of the bulb to ground, the lamp should light when you push the horn button. If it doesn't, you have a bad switch. If it does, then you have a bad relay.. There will be a quiz at the end of the hour... Good luck! Eric Lamberts ew-@unr.edu Reno NV |
