The horns won't toot.
- Clock spring is OK
- Horn contacts under air bag no corrosion
- 20 amp fuse is good
- Horn relay is good
- Got power out of the horn connector using a 6-12 volt test light (haven't tested with a meter)
- Grounded the horns directly with a separate wire (lots of rust and corrosion where the horn bracket normally attaches)
- Horns blast when connected directly to the battery
The only thing I got left is that it's possible there's insufficient power coming out of the power connector to jolt the horns into tooting...OR the interior horn contacts are so old it takes a direct jolt from the battery to get them to toot, and they blast me into next week when I go direct from the battery.
Any other ideas?
