Horn mounting
What is the stock location for the horn on a 68 1/2 ton? Also where does it get its power from?
Thanks

It goes on the driver's side of the core support, right above the voltage regulator. It's held on by a 5/16 size bolt.
There should be one wire breaking out of the harness that plugs onto the horn terminal. I can't remember the color of the wire right now though.

Think I found it
Think I got it. Its plugged into the bottom of the voltage regulator. Am I looking at the right wire? Its the only green one coming out of the headlight harness that I can see.

Tx Firefighter
Will do that tonight. Just curious as to why the previous owner plugged it into the voltage regulator. I dnt think it matters I have the voltage regulator bypassed and I am using a internally regulated alternator. Will let you know if it honks tonight. ![]()

the clicking is your horn relay under the dash isn't it?
1st, make sure your horn is well grounded. 2nd, disconnect horn wire and run a jumper wire from your battery positive to the wire terminal on the horn. It should honk. 3rd, adjust the horn a couple of times with a non marring hammer (mallet). Don't twist off on it, just give it a couple of little tune-ups. These steps will likely get you horny.

Make sure there is clean metal to metal contact between the horn and the core support. I use star washers under the bolt head. They dig through the paint and crud to get a good bite into the metal.

Thanks Tx firefighter. I will also hit that area with a little sand paper as well.

Forgot to answer that question. Yes the clicking is coming from the horn relay under the dash.

Got it working. Just need a good sanding on the spade that the power wire goes to and the area that it bolts down to.
