Steve P Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Evening all, How is the horn connection at the steering wheel earthed? I've checked all the wiring and the operation of the actual horn and all is well. Thanks Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carld Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Steve Have you checked the earth strap on the steering column, there is a braided strap that continues the earth through the rubber coupling? Cheers Carl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barkerwilliams Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 My circuit is completed by the horn push which has a blackish sprung wire V connector on the plastic outer pushing against the steering wheel. This doubles as the friction clip which holds the horn boss into the wheel. I had to clean up the part of the steering wheel it contacts which had been painted / corroded to get a good contact. On the outside of the horn boss which fits into the wheel is a small 1/4" vertical line in the plastic moulding. If you line up the inner brass contact with that line then as you are fitting the horn boss into the wheel you have a visual aid in ensuring the brass contact is in line with the brass horn stud.
