What gives

[Gooseloony]

Ok so went out just now, slipped pieces of paper between brushes and commuter and did continuity test as follows: brush to horn metal (no reading on either), brush to screw head w/plastic washers holding brush--(yes there was continuity); commuter to horn metal (no continuity).

Guess everyone gave up on me. Anyway, my search for a short continues. Have taken the wires off the generator and have NO continuity to ground from wire on the right (in the photo) to the frame (a good thing). I tied the wires on the left and right (off the generator) and still have no continuity to frame (a good thing). I do get continuity to ground from generator terminal to the frame--is that normal or is that NOT a good thing? NOTE: fuse at starter is removed for these tests. Also, NO continuity on horn button wire to frame (also a good thing). I'm stumped, any ideas?

Generator to ground continuity is normal.

Horn wire to ground continuity only when you push the horn button.

Fixed finally...grrrrrrr . Thank you Tom

I believe it is Roadster62 who says, 'Most of the worlds problems are electrical' . I believe he owes you his thanks for having supported his theory.
