Jaguar XJ6 Horn troubleshooting
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi guys,
One other quick question, regarding the horn in my jag.
I replaced the stock steering wheel with a wooden steering wheel that was from an 85 VDP. The horn button is present, but I guess it was dismantled by the PO when he was prepping it to ship.
The wire under the button is a single yellow wire (thin). How is this supposed to actuate the horn?
THe wire is connected to a spade connector on the bottom of the button. Is this yellow wire supposed to fit into the center of the steering column? I noticed there was a long, narrow cylindrical tube, with a brass insert in the center. I thought the function of the brass tube was to be like a long wire, which would then go to the relay.
I probe tested the relay for voltage, and I was getting voltage at the Brown/Purple wire & the Green wire. Interestingly when i probed the green wire, i got the relay to "click" -- however, still no horn sound :-(
Can anyone help me troubleshoot my horns?
Thanks!
