[TR] TR3 Horn Relay

[wbeech]

Terry,

Probably more than you want to know but here is a copy-n-past from the service manual with regards to service and adjustment of the horns.

Subject: [TR] TR3 Horn Relay

 

The horns on my TR3 are less than useless, giving out this embarrassing thrush-like warble like I'm taking revenge on some meathead driver who just swerved into my lane to cut me off by tweeting at him/her.  

 

Take that, you poo-poo head!

 

I might just as well stick out my tongue at them.  Makes the same amount of noise....

 

So, I have solid ground and good current going to the horns.  I seem to remember having to tune similar horns on my old MGB 45 years ago but can't remember if these are set up the same.    And I can't remember if there's a relay in the horn circuit for a TR3.  Since it's freezing in the garage here in New Hampshire, I'm too lazy to dig out my electrical diagram there.  

 

Thoughts, anyone?
