stlmack Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Every time I turn right my air horn goes off. Any suggestions on what is sticking before I start taking things apart? Thank you.

convoyduel Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 How are your horns operated? Are they lanyard pull or are they electrically operated air?

Rob Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Sounds like the electrical connections behind the horn button located within the steering wheel are needing adjustment. I'm assuming the horns are electrically actuated and slaved to the horn relay under the dashboard. I've seen this several times through the years with the electric horns but have never dealt with an electrically actuated air horn setup. The theory however, is the same.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

stlmack Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 yep, electrically actuated. I'll pop the horn button on the steering wheel and check how it is adjusted. Thanks.

stlmack Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Electric wire from the horn button had cracked insulation and contacted steering shaft when turning right. A little electrical tape and now enjoy quiet right turns.
