Mikesbucketlistmack Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I'm trying to get the steering wheel horn in my 80 R 611 ST working. It looks like it's been disconnected as there is a black wire with a push in end hanging out of the steering column (see picture). I checked under the dash for the other end of a wire that might have been connected to it but there are no loose wires. I checked the horns by running a wire from them to the battery and they work. I followed the horn wires all the way to the horn relay in the glove box and there are no breaks. Any ideas where this wire from the steering column should be connected to ? What would happen if I connected it to an empty terminal of a power block under the hood ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39 Baby Mack Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Look at the connector for the turn signal switch, If memory serves me that's where the wire from the horn contactplugs into.If it doesn't have a spot for it then the switch was probably replaced with a plain Signal Stat switch without the OEM connectorThe wire eventually goes to the ground side of the horn relay to close the relay and blow the horn.Just run a wire through the dash to the relay.Ron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikesbucketlistmack Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Thanks, Ron. I finally got some time and disovered that a strange looking unlabeled button on the dash works the city horn. Someone must have reconnected it when the steering wheel button failed a long time ago.
