Hi All:
After much study and experimentation, I believe I have found a solution
to the horn wiring dilemma. It turns out that the terminals on the horns
are not interchangeable. To make sure that the horns will work properly
in both the northern and southern hemispheres, it is necessary that you
use stranded wire and that the wire connected to the + (positive)
terminal be wound clockwise and the wire connected to the - (negative)
terminal be wound counter-clockwise. If, on first connecting the horns,
they do not operate, simply swap the wires. One should not be surprised
when the horns only work intermittently (and usually not at night) since
they are connected to Lucas electrics, of course. The ultimate solution
to the problem is probably to replace the horns with more modern
solid-state devices known as SED's (sound emitting diodes) which are
manufactured in China and available on eBay. Just make sure that you get
the ones that work on negative ground cars (or maybe positive ground in
the southern hemisphere). These can be implanted in the original horns
and become essentially undetectable due to their size and can be
operated from a smart phone. There's an app available for both Apple and
Android phones.
Cheers,
Tod
