Slickster Posted January 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 Was there supposed to be a pic in your reply? Just an X shows up....the spring goes below the brass 3 spoke thing? How does it give the horn ring it's spring effect?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonaldSmith Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 The horn ring is counterintuitive (it doesn't work like you would think). I went through this some time ago with my DeSoto horn ring. (Some ambitious and savvy person could look this up.) The gizmo, in this case the "Y" shaped bridge that holds the spring in place, is isolated from ground. The horn wire attaches to the middle of the gizmo. The spring is grounded. As pictured without the horn ring, the gizmo would be grounded by the spring, completing the ground circuit to the horn relay. Constant Honk! The horn ring is isolated, and in normal position its lugs push the spring away from the gizmo. Push the horn ring, and one of its lugs pulls away from the spring, allowing the spring to contact the gizmo. Honk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
