Ha...the one that's left is strong. The weak one is out. I'm gonna blast it with 12V and make it sing a high note like Prince.

I did get the horn button to work. It's being difficult, but it works. I screwed with the relay wires. Miller Time now. Thanks.

I'll check for that ground location in a bit. The wire with the loop is there, it just needs a new home.

I sent him an email but he hasn't responded yet. He's working 12 hour night shifts this week so he may be a little slow to respond.

Will get back to you as soon as I can.

Here are a couple of pictures of the ground wire that runs in the same area as the horn wire. It is screwed into a hole just to the left of the center of the nose support. There is a star washer between the loop and the nose support. I was told to make sure you didn't put the washer on top of the wire.

First picture is a closeup:


And this one gives a little perspective:

Thanks for the pics. I've been trying to get a J hook that size from Paragon. I'll keep looking.
