Remember, the horns draw a LOT of current. Just because your meter shows c=
ontinuity when pushed doesn't mean the resistance is low enough to work the=
horns. Measure voltage on the N/B when the horn pushed is actuated. Also=
, do the horns work if you jump the N/B wire direct to a good ground instea=
d of through the horn push? Most cars - even those with fairly simple, bas=
ic wiring like the TR6 - use a relay to work the horns. You may need on h=
ere.
