I have power at the N/G bullets and connectors. When the N/G wires are =
attached to the horn connectors, I get power at the N/B wires. When the =
horn button is pressed, all wired up this way, I very low =E2=80=9Chmph=E2=
=80=9D or =E2=80=9Cbump=E2=80=9D is heard. If I remove a N/B from a horn =
and touch it to ground, the horn sounds as it should. If I remove the =
other N/B and touch it to ground, again the horn sounds as it should. I =
am guessing the horn button ground is not doing its job. Now, to trace =
where that ground connection is located. Does that logic make sense?
