| 1590.2 | leave it there or take it out ??? | ODDONE::BELL_A1 | | Thu Oct 31 1991 21:12 | 21 |

you can either
a) remove the horn and connect the two spade connectors between a 12v
supply and ground (2 wires straight from the battery is the method that
I use). this should cause the horn to emit a horn type sound
or
b) connect a light bulb and holder between the 2 wires and press the
switch. this should cause the bulb to light.
if method a is used and the horn makes no noise the horn element is in
need of replacement and if it does make a noise the 12v supply to the
horn is being stopped (try switch, fuses, wiring, connections et al)
Al
ps. some horns are internally grounded, these have 1 wire and are
grounded through the horn cover.

| Tut! Tut! The horn or hooter is not for venting your frustrations at
annoying drivers, but to make them aware of your presence.

| 1590.5 | My horn is working for some strange reason? | NYSBU::LAM | Q ��Ktl�� | Mon Dec 23 1991 17:11 | 4 |
| As mysteriously as my horn stopped working, my horn is working again. I
didn't do anything. I didn't do anything to it. I didn't try any of
the suggestions that were mentioned in this note. All of a sudden it
started working again. Can anyone venture an explanation?

| Sorry, couldn't resist.
Perhaps it was damp, and know it's dried out again. This was the
problem with the air horn compressor motor on my Mum's car. I took it
to bits though and dried it by the fire.

Whats the point in asking further questions if you ignored the advice
already given ?

I was going to but didn't get a chance to do it. By the time I got
around to checking the horn again. I found it was working and Yes I
did push the horn switch. I did it many times.

| My very ordinary horn took to making a funny noise, I took it off,
shook it and a lot of water came out, after tyhat it worked fine again.
Could be the same but yours drained of it's own accord.
Else, an intermittent bad connection.
