What the heck happened!?
I installed another(OEM) steering wheel last Friday. No problems, horn worked, looked great.
Last night at 11:30pm I wake up to the horn going off like someone is holding it down. I run outside, push on the horn button, pull the horn button off and it keeps going. I finally had to pull the wire on the relay. Do you think I tightened the stuff too tight under the button or do you think the relay went bad? I just thought it was wierd, because it was fine for a few days.

Re: What the heck happened!?
IMO.... the stuff is too tight under the button.
BUT, when I bought my 71 long ago. I had to take the battery cable off every time I parked it. PO had the horn go off on him and he ripped the wires off the horn it self. I finally figured out my horn relay was basically stuck on. I pulled that plug and never had to disconnect the battery again. I have a new relay now. Horn works fine. I bet it's the relay Oh, it wasn’t the relay.... It was the stuff under the button. I took the relay from another truck and it did the same thing. IT'S THE BUTTON Not yelling... just rambling |

Re: What the heck happened!?
You can test the relay with with an ohmmeter and find out for sure if that was the cause

Re: What the heck happened!?
Well I relieved the three screws and plugged it back into the relay. Seems to have worked, we'll see how she does tonight. Sleep tight neighbors...

Re: What the heck happened!?
You should post this in the thread about security systems for our old trucks!! Just have the horn blow randomly, that'll keep the thieves away!!

Re: What the heck happened!?
I pulled my relay. Everytime I turned the wheel right the horn would go off!
I plan on fixing it when I change out the cabs.
