Horn mystery solved

[spindle]

Started an earlier thread about trying to get my horn to work. Took the turn/headlight/horn control apart. Was that some fun to put back together. Had a left over spring so today I took it apart one more time and figured out were the spring went.
Started tracing wires and getting ready to run new ones. Found a splice the PO had made to the ground wire. Under 3 layers of tape. Cut it out and put in a new connector. Horn works!

Like, any time you see those blue cut-in connectors, you know you're in it

I just cut off about 8 of them. A few were used with the stator and R/R. Used solder and shrink wrap. What a suprise everything works fine now :shock:

If you want to take the connections apart again, I recommend tinning the ends and using the grub-screw terminal strips the R/S sells. If you don't need the full strip, it's easy to cut to needed length.




I use this connector in the motor connections in my electric scooter.
