Horns?

by Roadcaptain S3 on Sat Nov 21, 2009 11:43 am

I don't have any. @#$%
Fooling around in the garage this morning-Electrical stuff- Hit the horn. i can hear the relay click-start looking for the horns to tap on 'em---there ain't any---gone--- found the wiring-no horn or horns.

Are there two? I know some G3s came with one and some with two.
Where would I look for the mounting point or points-Looked in the grill and inside the fenders...nothing.
I've got a couple of Furd horns I can use, but don't know where to mount 'em.

tried a forum search and didn't see anything.

ok-I'll check there for brackets-gracias

the bracket is on the horn itself and attaches to the core support if I remember right

the montes came with one or two. if it had one than it was on the driver side behind the grill.if it had two,then there was one on the inside of the driver fender and one behind the grill.

Hey Road, I have a G3 horn, single horn for a 73 Laguna. You're welcome to it to have it original instead of that FoMoCo junk =P

Anyone know why mine just do not work sometimes? I think it has something to do with the steering wheel pad.

That is probably just the contact ring being dirty or corroded. If you change the position of your wheel and it works, then either clean or replace the contact in the column.

Ha! Thanks, but hang on to yours, you might need it.

I fooled around with it a littel bit. My 75 chevelle/monte diagram indicates a single horn and a single dark green wire feeding the horn-located the wire and hooked it to the new fomoco junk and....nothing, of course.
The relay is clicking, the wire looks fine and the fuse looks okay. I couldn't find anything in the fender that looked like a mounting point for a second horn, so I'm guessing that the Laguna came with a single self grounding horn fed by a single wire.
What am I forgetting/missing?

Did you put a meter on it to make sure there is power getting to the horn?

Nah-mine isn't working, gonna go get one later, I'm betting the problem is the fuse or the power to the wire.

I got around to messing with the horn. It works fine sometimes and then sometimes I can hit the pad all over and it wont work or just get a toot here and there . I took off the pad and took out the little wire and spring in the
wheel (comes out easily enough) and it looks fine. Everything in there is clean
too. It dosent matter the positon of the wheel when it dosent work just dosent work.Anyone got anything?

ROADCAPTAIN LOOK AT BOTH PICS OF MY CAR YOU WILL SEE THE SECOND HORN IS JUST JUMPED OFF THE FIRST ONE AND ORIGINAL LOCATIONS

Did you try tapping at the horn itself?

I had two many years ago that just got gunked up inside from disuse, tapped 'em a few times with a screwdriver and....TOOT- just had to loosen up the gunk in there.

Horns?
