1998 LC 100 horn is not working.
I connected the horn directly to battery and it worked. I can hear the relay click when I press the horn so I am under the belief that the relay is working. I cleaned the hot side horn connection at the physical horn (ground is working as evident when hot hooked direct to battery the horn worked) and still no horn.
Any suggestions to the cause? Is my assumption safe that the relay is working if it is clicking when the horn is pressed? What is there to go wrong between the relay and the physical horn? Broken wire? Anything else?
By the way I purchased a new 80 series. 1997 40th anniversary was factory triple locked, but front locker is not working (have not investigated). No rust but far from immaculate. I would rate interior and exterior both 7/10 for its age (front seats surprisingly are near 10/10). Seeing it will be a trail vehicle, I did not need immaculate. Nothing upgraded for offroad, trailer hitch is real low (maybe I am used to my existing Toyotas that are 1) much higher clearance 2) have the hitch integrated with the bumper. I wanted an 80 series, triple locked, with OBD2, ABS and except for front locker not working this meets the criteria. I just started researching the suspension build. My son wants 40" tires, but I think 35" is optimal. He points out we already have the LC100 with 35" and the 4R 5th gen Trail has 34". He has some point but how often are bigger than 35" tires needed? 35", triple locked, Solid front axel LC with good suspension build should be able to handle virtually anything that its wheel base is not the eliminator.
