Paul,
I'm guessing when you say on or off you mean if you feed the horn circuit
power by inserting a fuse, then the horn sounds continuously? If that's
the case you may have a short between the horn and the horn button on the
steering column. I don't remember if the roadsters isolate the horns
physically from ground and run a separate ground wire or if they complete
the circuit via the horn body. Do they switch the 12 volt side or the
ground side of the circuit? On the later cars many of the circuits are
switched on the ground side. Pat, Gordon, Tom, someone help me out here.
I'd want a wiring diagram so I could literally start at one end of the
circuit and trace my way to the other end.
Hope that helps a little anyway, Ron
