horns not working
Just rebuilt the steering column. Repaired the horn wire, because it was shorting out. Get it all back together. The short is repaired, but the horns don't sound. When I connect the horn contacts at the end of the column (steering wheel side) the horn relay clicks and a get a decent size draw on the circuit. No horn though. Relay is new.
How do I test the actual horns. If I jump the horn wire to ground at the Harmonica connection, should the horn go off?

Hey Smokin I had the same prob, I had to rewire everything and a new realy but still no dice, turns out my horns were shot, new high/lows from PepZoneWarehouse solved the problem.
Check your grounds from the horns to good clean metal too, that could be hindering your honking.

You can test the horn by touching a hot wire to the terminal on the horn.
Temporarily connect a wire to the battery post on the alternator. Touch the now "hot" wire to the terminal on the horn. If it doesn't work, the horn is shot.
