He said horn tests good on battery. Has to be wiring. That sounds too obvious, I know. Sorry.
This is where my first 10-second shot would be running jumpers from the hot wire and ground point in the column to a horn on the side and see if it works differently. Process of elimination, then wire tracing. |
