tryinng to fix the horn and the fog lights.
The lights work, I am not getting power to the light. There are three wires on the switch, I suspect that is the culprit but I'm not sure how to check it for power.
Both horns work, again, no power. I put an ohm meter to the button on the steering wheel and it shows a connection. There is 1 white wire coming through the colum. Is this correct?
What else might I be missing?

With the fogs, I'm not sure if you know this, the headlights have to be "on" for them to work. At least in the running light position.

yep the lights worked, they came on and I instantly blew a fuse, but they worked! Thanks
Now for the horn........
Show a picture of your car.

The horn button has to go together with the one white wire attached to the button. When you "screw" them together, be careful not to get that white wire stuck in the wronk position or it will prevent the horn button from depressing properly.

there are two connections behind the horn button, not sure which one is the right connection. Should I be seeing 12 volts at the white wire? Is there a horn relay? |

Western's? I like those. KT |
I don't know who has any center caps for the Western's.
Maybe a wheel shop has a generic option.
205/50's will fit on those rims. the Hoosier's I showed you were on a set.

Do a search on "fender rolling".
It takes a little bit of work to get 'em under there.

There is a horn relay.
I have same two things not working, but I know I have a broken fog light switch(Got a used one with car, along with a bunch of other stuff) If the horn is touching the body, it will sort of sound muffled or be silent. The horn may be all full of junk too, I think that is what is wrong with mine. Mine has a brown wire at the little ring in there, can hear the relay clicking under the dash when I touch the wire to it, have not put plug on that I got from Radio Shack.
I personally think 195 is as wide as I would go with a 5.5 inch wheel. 195-50-15 will beat you up pretty good, I got 195-60's which are pretty good, ride and handling wise.
