>but I get a shock from the button every time. I guess that kinda discourages the use of the horn! I don't remember any ground wires in the steering column for the horn. Seems to me that a hot wire comes to the horn button. When the horn button is pushed, the contact is made to complete the circuit, and the wire from the horn button to the horns is then hot, causing the loud noise in the front of the car. I would think that your horn button is not insulated properly. My Grant horn button has a rubber ring that insulates the button. I'd suggest you look to see what happens when you push the button. Is the horn button housing directly against the brass/copper ring that makes the connection? If so, then I'd think that would be a bad thing. The horn button itself should be getting any juice. (obviously, I know, I know). :-)) Hopefully this is at least a little helpful. 396guy wrote: > I'm trying to get the horn to work in my 67 Elky.
