I think in my 50+ years of TR250 ownership, I've replaced horns about 4
or 5 times. They seem to be getting worse, because I've replaced them
twice in the past 5 years and they currently don't work. Yes, the button
itself is problematic too. I usually test them with a 12v battery first.
Does anyone know where to buy horns that will last, or should I just
remain hornless? - Larry Young

I'm no Dan Masters, but I've always found the most
likely culprit is not getting a solid ground from the
horn button, especially if it works sometimes, when

purple/black wire as the negative end of a test light to

Check the ground wire that goes thru/around the steering

 A newbie question from a 31-year 1976
TR6 owner â?? Whereâ??s the horn relay? Horn
is working only very occasionally and I
figure the easiest first thing to look
at is the contacts on the relay. Iâ??ve
included a picture of the fuse box area
and a few of the relays â?? which one is
the horn or is it somewhere else? Â I
have Dan Masterâ??s book so if itâ??s not
the relay, I know where to go next.
Thanks. Dennis Culligan, Highland, NY
