Horn problem
I have a 58. I am trying to repair my horn. I have power to the horn relay, but neither horn honks. I tried replacing the relay and that didn't work. I tried adjusting the nut on each horn in and out, but still no noise. I was thinking of bypassing the relay and running some jumpers directly to one horn. Anyone have any ideas or heads up of what might happen? Thanks.

Check your wires at the horn connectors also (you may have done this already) to make sure you have power all the way to the front. Could be a problem with the contact in the wheel or a ground wire so be sure to check that out. Hope this will help. I had a friend with this problem and it was the horn button.

Make sure your horns are grounded well (usually via their mounting point) and touch a jumper from the pos side of battery to the wire on either horn. If it blows its wiring problems; if not dig deeper into the horn itself.
