There is no horn relay in type 3s, except possibly the Ghias. Remove the center horn button. You'll see the wire coming up the center of the column and plugging into the horn ring. Unplug that connection and make sure it's insulated from everything else. Does the horn still go off? The wire up the center is the ground for the horn circuit. If the horn no longer blows then the problem is probably in the horn ring mounting. In this case, I'll bet that one or more of the external star lockwashers were left out. If the horn still blows, then the steering shaft, or the wire leading to it, is shorted to ground and that will be harder to find. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
