[Tigers] Horn Wiring

[Tod Brown]

Hi All:

After much study and experimentation, I believe I have found a solution 
to the horn wiring dilemma. It turns out that the terminals on the horns 
are not interchangeable. To make sure that the horns will work properly 
in both the northern and southern hemispheres, it is necessary that you 
use stranded wire and that the wire connected to the + (positive) 
terminal be wound clockwise and the wire connected to the - (negative) 
terminal be wound counter-clockwise. If, on first connecting the horns, 
they do not operate, simply swap the wires. One should not be surprised 
when the horns only work intermittently (and usually not at night) since 
they are connected to Lucas electrics, of course. The ultimate solution 
to the problem is probably to replace the horns with more modern 
solid-state devices known as SED's (sound emitting diodes) which are 
manufactured in China and available on eBay. Just make sure that you get 
the ones that work on negative ground cars (or maybe positive ground in 
the southern hemisphere). These can be implanted in the original horns 
and become essentially undetectable due to their size and can be 
operated from a smart phone. There's an app available for both Apple and 
Android phones.


Cheers,
