Horn won't work!
Any sort cuts or ideas on how to get it working?

Horn, works tested it
Steering whell, new from Grant's. Wired right? Can't tell yet.

re-wiring it would be what I would do. You should get an air horn now (perfect oportunity). get the REAL kind, the ones that are on truckers and fire trucks.

Hmmmm.. Thats strange, I have had a problem with my horn WORKING!! Everytime I hit a large bump, that dam button pops off and the horn blares until I can find it on the floor and snap it back on.
It really impresses people on the road next to me.
Not sure what to tell ya on yours as I havent had it not work. Sorry

Anybody know where You can get a Train horn?? I think they are run off of air...but I wouldn't mind filling up a tank of air before I leave home... Not THAT would be cool! Thing is...I don't know of any train wreckers..

Amazing how we all think alike in this room!
We are installing a train horn.
And MAN IS IT LOUD!!!
Jc Wihitney about $30.00 to $100.00

Yea, I would get a few fingers from the person ahead of me thinking I was honking at them!

horn inop......... try pulling the cover off the steering shaft and bypassing the horn wire to ground... if it works then chances are the brush connecting the horn button in the wheel to thewiring harness is worn out

for train horns you're best bet is check out APC or a truck tealer like freightliner, peterbilt, or kenworth. they have aftermarket horns that sound like an oncoming train... i used to work on a tricked out freightliner century owned by APC's transport truck that had a train horn from APC plumbed into it. yes the same apc that makes custom parts!

$2.00 horn button @ Auto-zone +run wire from button to horn+wire from horn to battry= horn WORKING
See how easy that was? lol

screw the horn, get a paintball gun

I wish i'd done that b4 buying my horn from Harbor Freight, it's one of those high-pitched horns... but at least you can hear it a 1/4mile away....

At least it didn't do that while you were driving behind a group of hells angels or something...

I had that same problem with my Grant steering wheel. The problem i found with my assy was that the nut holding the steering wheel on was sitting too high. It was tough to get the cover on and the horn wouldn't work. Grinding the nut down so it would be thinner fixed the problem. The nut was keeping the spring bottomed out and it wouldn't move to make contact to set off the horn. I took about 1/8" off the nut and now it works. I could get it better but i got it to work well enough to pass state inspection and that's all i was looking for.

Oh yes our wonderful state inspections here, don't you jus LUV having to go thru that BS LOL

I dont mind state inspections. The place i go to is a muffler shop that is full of gearheads. If they dig the ride, they'll be really flexible with the requirements to pass. Plus i like it when a group of mechanics hover around the engine compartment and drool. To them, it breaks up the monotony of inspecting planejane cars and S.U.V.'s
