    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

When I press the horn button, I hear a quiet pinging noise in the right horn, and when I put my hand on it I can feel the ping and the vibrate a bit. But no horn noise...what to to do first? One day it worked, the next day it didn't :(
 
First thing to try is cleaning the connections and check that you are getting about 12V with the motor stopped. After that the internal contacts wear out and can be adjusted by turning the screw on the horn. After that your looking at the horn switch. The ball bearings corrode. The size that worked for me was 3mm.

And where might these contact adjustment screws be?
 
Usually dead center on the back, sometimes with a locknut.
I'll see if I have one lying around and get photo
