Hi all, Have a problem with my horn. I thought it was the mechanism (it had been sitting for awhile) so got a new one from the dealer. The two wires get 12V between them when the horn is pressed. When attached to a dangling horn mechanism, they get close to 12V (probably a matter of me not attaching the leads as good on the meter) and sounds like a sick duck, but works. When I put it in place and tighten the nut holding it on, I only get about 6V across and all you hear is a thunk. What gives?? I'm trying to get it working by the time my failed insp. expires so that I can pass and continue to drive legally. Tonya 87 Vanagon GL Wolfs |
