THIS ONE IS NOT INTUITIVE!! your horn button is connected to the axle beam with a wire across the rubber coupler, it grounds the floating axle beam when the button is pressed. the beam must be floating-electrically and not hit the lower torsion arm on the left side when turning as the speedo cable grounds the steering knuckle. the horn gets unswitched B+ from the fuse box and the ground side is connected to the axle beam. If everything is right this all works. When working under there on your front end DISCONNECT THE HORN!!! otherwise if your wrench ends up grounding the axle beam you get a NASTY bruise on your forehead DDDDDOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!
