[Healeys] horn repair

[Bob Spidell]

There's at least 2 terminals on the horns (one or both have 4--to 'jump' to the 
other).  Pull the harness connectors off, and apply 12V to one terminal and 
ground/return to the other (run wires to your battery, or use a separate 12V 
power supply; e.g. battery).  If the horn's OK it will sound.

The horns have 12V power applied--the key might have to be in the 'run' 
position, don't recall for sure--the pushbutton in the trafficator completes the 
circuit to ground, firing the horns.  You can also use a voltmeter to test that 
you have 12V across the pushbutton terminals (if not, power to the horns has 
been interrupted, or your trafficator wiring is incorrect).

Assuming the horns were working before your trafficator repair, I'd suspect the 
wiring in your trafficator.
