Up through 72 or 73 the horn does not have a relay. Power gets sent to the horn full-time, and the wire in the center column provides the ground.
Getting a spark from the connection says that some wiring is very funky, but I don't know how that wire is run. Trace it and look for connections. Those could be weak or dirty. --DD |
