Situation: A 64 bug: I have been renewing the front suspension and steering: new beam, steering box, etc.
Yesterday I installed the steering box and put a new coupler; I connected the battery to check if the horn worked...and it did, but all the time!
It must be said that this car does not have the original horn, it's a different type and it's ran from a relay, as fas as I can say it works connecting a terminal of the relay to ground (there's a cable running from the steering column to the relay, if I disconnect it the horn does not sound)
I checked the brown cable running inside the shaft and it is intact, I took out the steering wheel and the horn kept beeping!
What could cause this kind of behaviour? I don't know what else to check!
I haven't messed with the column at all so I don't see how it could be grounding now

Re: horn drama
If you hook the brown wire to the terminal of the relay you grounded it should sound the horn when you press the horn.Slow 1200 wrote:Situation: A 64 bug: I have been renewing the front suspension and steering: new beam, steering box, etc.

Hot, humid air is less dense than cooler, drier air. This can allow a golf ball to fly through the air with greater ease, as there won't be as much resistance on the ball.
