<font color='black' size='4' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'><font size="4">Yes, it does. The horns ground through the horn button and when the contacts get old they don't carry enough current to work the horns. A quick fix is to wire up a relay.<br>
<br>
Get a generic cube relay a your FLAPS. To wire up the relay connect one coil wire to the N/G wire and the other to the N/B wire from the steering column. Connect the N/B wire from the horns to the NO contact on the relay. Connect the COM contact on the relay to a good ground. It's a walk in the park.<br>

Hmm. I have connections to each (one N/G and one N/B) and pressing the
<br class="">horn button gives a brief, muffled hmph. Yet when I was taking one apart,
<br class="">I shorted something inside the horn that gave off a load blast the way it
<br class="">should be. Seems something must be amiss in the wiring.

<br class="">FWIW, I fought a similar problem for a long time. Turned out the 4-way
<br class="">bullet sleeve was broken internally, but the shrunken vinyl sleeve made it
<br class="">seem like the bullets were snapping into place snugly.

I have power at the N/G bullets and connectors. When the N/G wires are attached to the horn connectors, I get power at the N/B wires. When the horn button is pressed, all wired up this way, I very low “hmph” or “bump” is heard. If I remove a N/B from a horn and touch it to ground, the horn sounds as it should. If I remove the other N/B and touch it to ground, again the horn sounds as it should. I am guessing the horn button ground is not doing its job. Now, to trace where that ground connection is located. Does that logic make sense?
