Can't blow my own horn

Just Sold · 05-24-2007, 09:38 PM

Just have to break down and buy a new one. I did a week ago as mine failed to work on my first trip out.

the failure point could be the wiring, switch, or the horn itself. Changing parts may well fix the problem, but you could end up buying parts you don't need. if you have access to a multi-tester or test light, connect it across the horn, and press the horn switch to see if power gets to the horn. if it does, then change the horn. if it doesn't _ work back toward the switch to see if that is OK.. proceed to the power source/fuse box,and eventually you will discover the faulty component.

We had the same type of problem. The horn made avery low sound kind of like a sick goose. A quick rap on the back of the horn helped for a while.

Check to see if there is power to the horn. Replace horn if needed or just shout BEEP when the button in pushed.
