<x-charset iso-8859-1>Well.. actually there was NO horn circuit so I did the only thing I could figure out to make it work. My front beam still floats at 12V, is connected to the horn ground, and gets grounded by the horn button and the car is as Horney as ever. It works great but dont jack up the car with your ear near the horn!!! The turn signal switch eh? I have to do some work in the column later this year or next so I will look into this and make things correct if they will work that way!
