Electrical Question

Hi to all: My horn, brake lights, and flasher are not working. Everthing else does, however I don't have my front turnsignals hooked up yet (and do not have them handy). I'm guessing the reason for the flasher not working is because the front turnsignals are not installed and the circuit is incomplete, correct? But whats up with the brake lights? Also I installed a new steeringwheel a while back (original) and I think I may have the horn ring installed wrong. All main ground straps have been dealt with, all bulbs are good, all fuses are good, good voltage (new Optima battery) good ground on the horn bracket. Thanks for your help, regards Doug

Do you hear an electrical click from under the dash when you press the horn button? What kind of steering wheel you have on there?
On your brake lights, do the turn signals light up at all in back? Both sides? Is the brake light switch plugged in?

Thanks for repling Andy; I got the brake light prob resolved (bad splice at plug by previous owner) But the turn signal will work only by doing it manually with the lever (I don't have my front turn signal lights (the ones in the grill) installed yet, will have them in soon. With the horn there is nothing, I sanded down the bracket on the horn and the contact area on the rad support to ensure a ground and my steering wheel is a brand new original style reproduction one. I can't hear any clicking sound (under the dash) but have a feeling I may have installed the horn adapter wrong as there is hardly any movement when you press the horn down to make honk (LOL) Doug

It is just right of the upper corner of the fuse block.It is most likely silver and has a 3 wire plug.

Look to the left of the column up high, that silver deal is the horn relay.
