JIPJOBXX Posted September 13, 2013 Report Posted September 13, 2013 For some reason my old horn wants to start to blow its noise! It doesn't do it all the time and I was wondering could this be the horn relay solenoid? It just once in awhile but today I had to stop and disconnect the wire that leads to the horn. Got any ideas? Oh and it doesn't sound loud either when this happens. Quote

Solution JIPJOBXX Posted September 13, 2013 Author Solution Report Posted September 13, 2013 Ok you guys figure it out???? The horn relay was the fault! Cheap relay where the wires attach to the body of the relay itself is insulated and one of the terminals was not making contact with the inside lead. In other words the juice was not flowing from point A to point B. I just soldered the post that was loose on cheap rivet and now it works just fine. The horn works when I want it to work. Now for all you electricians maybe you can answer this??? Why when the lead to the ground wire was loose would the horn blow? even when I was not touching the horn ring up on the steering wheel? Well another problem figured out in the world of my car. Jon Quote
