Re: short in horn in 85
So I found the #240 wire in the diagram i think it must be shorted some where by top of the dash behind the cluster. I have the face plate off slide of piece off the column I'm having a hard time figuring out where it's bein help up on. I have all the screws removed that hold it in place. Do I have to remove the speedo cable to get it out of the truck.

Did you try unplugging the horn relay and installing a fuse?

Re: short in horn in 85
I haveny yet tried the relay I'll try that tomorrow. I'm pretty sure though my mechanic i took it to replaced the relay on it when trying to source the problem. But I needed it back so he just stopped on it so I could have it. This was back when my truck was my only means of transportation

Re: short in horn in 85

Re: short in horn in 85
Well the gm Gods thought they'd quit toying with me and show me the light or sound!!!
My truck needed a cigarette lighter dome light wiring fixed (haven't checked bulbs for curtassy lights maybe bad). After two relays and a few fuses, I hurd a click click from my relay when I pressed the horn button. I then proceeded to remove the grille and hooked up my dr side horn a slight spark happened. Then proceeded to my LH horn and did a bigger spark and blew my fuse. I thought weird. I disconnected my horns and tested them hooking up to the battery and my horns didn't work. This was weird as I use to have them on a push button that I riged up in the cab. After the horns didn't work I went over to my work bench grabbed a old motor cycle horn and hooked a wire to the battery for a good ground and the other to my oem horn hot wire connector. I then went to the cab hit my horn button on the column and to my surprise my horn blared. I still think it's crazy that both my hi and low horns went to crap. But some how worked intermittently. |
