My truck has had a sick horn sound for the day I picked it up. So I have bought some off ebay.
I have two trumpet horns, one came on the truck and one I bought off ebay, and two snail horns off a 52 cad I bought off ebay (THEY APPEAR NOT TO WORK) and a set of never been used in the original battered-box DELCO REMY 6 volt replacement horns, (ONE D1930 1880226 A-F NOTES KLAXON HORN PACKAGE) I also bought off ebay.
The trumpet horn which came on the truck #1 only sputtered a noise when you pushed the stock button, so I had it changed when I had the truck rewired the second #2 trumpet horn sounded like a sick steer calling. So today I poked around under the hood seeing if some grounding was the problem. I replaced the #1 and it came to life, not a bad
beep-beep sound. I also re-bolted #2 in better and it came to life with a normal high pitched sound. I cleaned all the connection points and tried it again and nothing. I noticed where the people whom re-wire it had installed a 15amp fuse with an 18 gauge wire to it 12or14ga is what the wiring harness came with. I changed the blown fuse, disconnected #2 and got a small beep out of #1 push the button again and nothing. Checked the fuse and it wasn’t blown. Then checked to see if #2 would work, nothing. Went and retrieved the Delco box and installed the never been used horns with relay parallel wired to a horn button on the column. WHAT A NICE SOUND !!!!
Question 1; can the 2 post horns be connected to a relay?, That is if I can get them to work again. Question 2; can the snail horn with rivets be drilled out and worked on. If so is there anything out there which talks about reconditioning those things?
This got really long winded, sorry.
