Hi all,
So yesterday, I'm driving to lunch and the horn starts honking on its own, on/off/on/off. I pull over thinking I'm going to pull the fuse for now. Pull out manual to see which fuse it would be, and notice that it also powers wipers and other devices. While I am looking all this up, horn is quiet. So I figure I'll drive it home and see what I can figure out. When I got home, I pressed the horn pad, no sound... Wipers are working, so the fuse is still intact (I assume). Stock wheel/horn pad on a 73 2.0L. Any ideas? I'm thinking it is a lose wire at the horn pad (or where else...?), and it came lose and was flapping around and closing the circuit. I've never removed the horn pad so any tips or guidance? Thanks DG |
