Subject:'90 Westy Horn not operating
From:Michael Korsak
Date:Mon, 16 Jul 2001 17:20:18 -0700

Hey List,

I've been off the list since May since I'm not able to
check e-mail daily and keep up with the influx of
mail.

But, now I'm back with a question.  The horn on my '90
Westy is not working.  Searched the archives tonight,
but thet were not working for some reason.

So I just noticed this today.  Checked the fuse, it
was fine.  Then I took a multi-tester and tested the
wires at the horn.  Disconnected wires, attached red
end of multi-tester to red/blue wire and black lead to
black/yellow wire.  With the van running, had someone
"honk" the horn, no change in voltage read on the
tester.  So, I took the cover off the steering wheel
and played with the contacts.  Disconnected leads from
the contacts and again put red lead into positive, and
black lead of tester into negative.  "Honked" horn, no
change in voltage.

I hope that I was doing everything right, as I'm no
electrical whiz.  Can anyone lend some insight into
what it might be.  Thanks to all who reply.
