Re: Half a Volt - Enough to make a difference? 200 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be Hip82 on  Sat May 5 09:07 CST 2001 [RELATED]

>>So what you're telling me is that you have NO voltage anywhere at the horns until you push the horn button? (That's different than I thought you said before.)

Correct. No push, no volts. Push, 12v. Ignition On.

This is taken across the yellow and the black wire where the horn connects.

Maybe 1 93 240 is more like a 740. The OEM horn was a single horn. I pulled a set of the classic 240 dual horns from a late 80 soemthing 240.

>>If you don't have plenty of current capablity --

either from the supply side,

or through the ground circuit -- then the horn won't

work.

I don't see where it is grounded. I think this may be the problem.

Thanks,

Tom
