definatly check the earth, and take the horn off, clean up the bracket and the part of body where it is mounted, as this also serves as an earth.

I will try the earth, is there a relay anywhere to check out?

I have cleaned the earth and checked to see if there was any voltage at the horn...... none. Any ideas where the relay is or what could be wrong?

Nope, the horn is on the wheel. I got some air horns today, now I need to know where the elusive relay is and how to fit them Rolling Eyes

some one please just tell me where the relay is and I will die a happy man. The origianl horn had 2 wires on it. black/yellow & white/yellow. I cannot find them anywhere exept the horn end.

Get yourself a megaphone and shout "Beep" out of the window when you would normally sound the horn.

Problem solved.

It would also come in handy at sporting events, such as a football game, when you can sing "You'll never walk alone" and be an idol in front of hundreds.

theres no relay as far as I know.

to clean the horns earth I assume you remove the horn and cleane dup the brackets as thats how its earthed.

Anyway I always find its the spade terminal thats buggered, I sorted out both my chamades twin horns by cleaning up the spade terminals, it scares people much better now.

No need for a relay and there ain't no one there far as I know in a ph1 or 2 meg! I would check the horn with a wire from the batt. If the horn does nothing is knackered (when earth is fine offcourse). When it does only tick once it's in need of a relay! and if it hornes it oke i'd say

Good luck mate

Problem solved!! Thanks for the help.
The problem was a wire off on the switches inside the steering wheel cowling.
Can I now just use the 2 wires to instal my air horns??

nope air horns will need a relay.

but that relay should come with any air horn kit...buy the kit and yeah, use them wires as the trigger for the relay.
