Horn:First see if it has power to the horn at the horn.Spridgets ground the
horn to make it "beep" through a ground in the steering rack to rack mounts.Â
Factory shimmed the rack with what looks like thin card stock or gasket
material. Frequently the horn circut looses its ground at the rack mounts.Â
 Simple try this thing.  Alligator clamp test lead from a rack mount ( to
frame!) Bolt to the pinch bolt that connects the steering shaft to the rack's
pinion. That should create an artificial ground of the rack mounts are at
fault. Another test is if you have power at the horn , use your jumper to
ground the other terminal at the horn.  If power is present and you ground
the other terminal and nothing happens , it's the horn.If the horn makes some
sounds unlike a horn , try adjusting the horn , it could be dirty contacts in
the horn.  Ya might get lucky.Those tests will narrow it down to power to
horn or the grounding between the horn and the rack.Dash lights?  The tiny
almost hidden invisible slide switch under the edge of the dash is the "yes-no"
dash light switch. Dash lights are all a red wire with a white tracer .Â
 The obvious question is , have you cleaned the fuse holder and ends of the 2
fuses and are the fuses viable?  Do NOT trust a fuse that "looks good"!Â
 The ribbon inside can come loose from the metal end cap!  Do not
ask!!!!! Check your "good" fuses with a volt-ohm meter simply for
continuity.  Let us know where you find any interesting
gremlins!  ChuckBeen there...broke that....fixed it...broke it again
and.....fixed it AGAIN!Sent from my LG Mobile------ Original message------From:

ok looking for a place to start when trying to sort this out.
1960 bugeye, i have no gauge lights or horn. turn signals work on dash,
gauges work, car runs without a problem. Any tips for a starting point?
