thanks---It may come to that--------still not quite clear on the orientation of the cancelling lip---assume it is 180 to the top switch.tom

Most likely a new wiring harness will solve the problem, an inexpensive investment in money, if not in time to swap it out.

thanks Mike---I have been using that and it is OUTSTANDING.  Thanks for the feedback.  Still a little fuzzy on how to orient the cancel part.  I did find a bare spot on one wire and covered it.  We will see.Thankstom----- Original Message -----From: Michael MacLean <rrengineer.mike at att.net>To: Michael Salter <michaelsalter at gmail.com>, Tom Felts <Tomfelts at windstream.net>Cc: healeys at autox.team.netSent: Sun, 26 Jul 2020 22:04:25 -0400 (EDT)Subject: Re: [Healeys] Horn blowing--BJ8--updateTom go to http://www.healey6.com/technical.htmScroll down to trafficator.  Plenty of info there.

The insides of the trafficator needed a good cleaning anyway, the signal light contacts were filthy.  OK--------put it all back together and still the horn blows when I push the wheel forward-------so----guess the next move is to pull it all out of the tube and inspect it.  quick question----what is the position of the cancelling piece on the metal ring in relation to the two "triggers"?  should that piece be centered between the two triggers?  Assume so.  That's where I put it, but I'm not getting canceling now.Great way to spend pandemic time:):)Tom----- Original Message -----From: Michael Salter via Healeys <healeys at autox.team.net>To: Bob Spidell <bspidell at comcast.net>Cc: healeys at autox.team.netSent: Sun, 26 Jul 2020 15:43:30 -0400 (EDT)Subject: Re: [Healeys] Horn blowing--BJ8Certainly agree with Bob.I would think that the stator harness (inside the stator tube which is inside the steering shaft which is inside the steering column) is damaged. The stator harness can be changed without actually removing the stator tube, easier on your car with the adjustable steering wheel,  but it takes careful work and some degree of patience.

Check the connectors out of the steering box, but if it's not that then, yeah, you have something exposed to ground somewhere.

Not caused by the horn button--I have it removed----my guess---a bare wire somewhere in the column----or-----?????  Any ideas before I pull these wires out of the column with all that entails?Thankstom_______________________________________________Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.htmlSuggested annual donation  $12.75Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeyshttp://autox.team.net/archiveHealeys@autox.team.nethttp://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeysUnsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/michaelsalter@gmail.com_______________________________________________Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.htmlSuggested annual donation  $12.75Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys http://autox.team.net/archiveHealeys@autox.team.nethttp://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeysUnsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/rrengineer.mike@att.net_______________________________________________
