horn

[bobsmanstuff]

on my 53 Customline my horn was working fine and the other day it quit. Is there a fuse for the horn?

I don't see a fuse, looking at the wiring diagram...


Maybe the horn relay went bad...

Looks like there are two horns in series. Now you get to play the old "Christmas Tree Light" game.

Look parallel to me.


Horn buttons sometime develop an intermittent bad ground through steering column parts. Try turning steering wheel hard right and hard left while pushing the horn button or ring to see if they'll beep.

E-Z Troubleshooting Diagram: - reverse the polarity for positive ground, though...

These horns are wired in parallel; the ones in the '53 wiring diagram shown earlier in the thread are in series.

Find your horn relay.Take a jumper wire and touch the power terminal and the horn terminal . If the horn honks try touching the horn button terminal ( the one you havent touched yet)to ground. If the horn does not sound on the first test check for power on the bat terminal, if you have power the horn is the problem. If it does sound but does not on the second test the relay is bad.
if it sounds on the second test the horn button or the wire to it is the problem.

I did find the problem. A splice in a wire was lose. Redid it and the horn works. Thanks for the help.
