  1. Hello, 1941luxuryliner, i use as a daily my 1941 dodge club coupe for 10 years now and i have a lot of manuals and books about this car, plus my knowledge and experiences with my car on the road. Like it was said before, check the fuse under the light switch, the fuse holder is like a small bullet with a 1/4 of turn lock. about the generator, first thing you can do is open it and check the brush first and cleaning inside old the 80 years of dust and grease. on the armature, clean very very carefully and softly the copper where the brush lies to have it clean but to keep surface regular as possible. and with a thine saw blade cut like a little hook at one end, cure softly the mika between each copper post. with this done first and unless the armature have an internal probleme itself, you start with a "good" generator. reassemble it, put it in the car. then polarize it as follow remove the belt and disconect the wires armature and field on the generator. with a piece of wire, ground (+) the field post and to finish the polarisation, with another piece of wire connected to the negative post of the battery, connect it to the armature post of the generator. a spark will occure at the connection it's normal and the generator will turn as electric motor. the polarization is done for a positive ground system like our cars. if the wiring harness is original, there is no reason the polarity on the equipments is reversed cause the grounds of them is made by the body. so the ameter should go up when you rev the engine. and if you ahve a good battery it should stay close to zero whatever you turn on in the case you have a good working regulator. feel free to send private message for technical books if you want. about the horn, the seating you have to remove the cover. if you have dual horns, disconet one to set the other. but before touching everything, just clean the points softly to see if they work and if not play very very lightly with the seating screw, a very very small tiny turn will make big difference. hope this will help a little for you and other in need of help. Adrian.
