'78 horn question
Working on getting my horn working. Replaced brush contact/spring, upper contact and relay. When I hit the horn, I can hear the relay click.
The horn is connected as far as I can tell, but there is only one lead going to it. Is the '78 horn supposed to be grounded somehow? Anyone have pics of the connections that are supposed to be there?
TIA,
Corky

yes its grounded to the bracket that holds it in place....take off the horns and file or sand the mounting pad area on both the horn and frame then reinstall it....also test the green lead going to the horn with a test light to make sure you have juice....i also test the horns when they are out with a battery charger just to make sure they work. all you have to do is just quicky "flash" the horn terminal and it should make a noise.
