Testing my horn
How do I test my horn to see if I am getting 12 volts?
I just got my web site up! Check it out!

re: Testing my horn
Hook up an ohmmeter (or test light) to the horn wire and then hit the horn button. If the meter registers 12V (or the test light illuminates), you've got power.
If you don't, don't think automatically that the horn is defective. More than likely it's the spring-loaded contact under the steering wheel. These wear out and need to be replaced periodically.
