[TR] TR3A Horn Issues.

[Cliff Hansen]

Sounds to me like the low horn has an internal fault.  The thud is the contacts closing, which supposed to break current in the coil so that they spring back open, then close, open, repeat.  The oscillation produces the horn’s tone.

Replacements are available it might be easiest just to swap the horn.

Frustrated with the horns at the moment. Reinstalled the steering box; connected all the wires and the horns just go thud. Checked all the connections - everything tight.

Disconnected the low horn from the harness and the other horn works as it should.

If I disconnect the high horn, the other horn beeps once and then thud.

Any suggestions appreciated...
