Horn wiring Still not working

[honk]

Don't let frustration spend your money - there's nothing wrong with your relay, nothing wrong with your horn(s).

Coolerman made it simple when he posted: "again: The horn button should be grounded on one side and the other side should be attached to the Horn Relay S terminal. The B terminal has battery power on it. When you press the horn button you are GROUNDING one side of the Horn Relay causing it to pull in which routes battery power out to the horns causing them to blow".

Yep. I know the wiring from the horn button to the relay is fine (new). The power wire to the relay is a problem (tracing that tomorrow). The wiring from the relay to the horn works. Discouraged but plugging on. All lights now work!!!

You could have a bad connection in the power feed to the horn relay. Clean the fuse contacts for the horn and replace the fuse. That might be the issue. Other wise it's a bad relay.

Coolerman, All,

Just to close the thread, finally got around to running a new wire from the Fuse to the Horn relay, Vundaba!!! I now have horns. On to the next challenge (besides the brakes) the Blinkers are not working. Using the wiring diagram from this site. May be another post as the Hazard switch that I have for my 72 has 5 wires and a plug, the diagrams show 9 wires...

Thanks to everyone...Cheers!

Took ya long enough!

But seriously, congrats. I liked how you kept plugging away at it without sniveling or blaming the world. Glad for you that you have bleep now and like you say - On to the next!

Well I had my rant, helps to clear the mind...

Have a look at the 75 wiring diagrams, the fifth one down in that list you linked to. That shows the much simpler "non usa" spec hazard switch wiring. Maybe you have a loom from a different vehicle in yours Wichita is why you are getting such odd results?

May be, I see that the Hazard switch is more in line with the wiring there. I will more than likely do some splicing (rather than cutting) so I can easily back out changes. We'll see how it goes... today is Brake day though!
