According to the wiring diagram, you do have hot wires at the horns coming =
from the fuse. The other wire at the horns will only be hot when it's conne=
cted to the horns. That hot wire then goes to the horn switch/button. The o=
ther side of the horn switch is a ground, which completes the circuit. If y=
ou have power at the fuse side wire of the horns, and don't have power on t=
he other terminal, your horns are probably bad. There should be continuity =
between the contacts.

Subject: [Tigers] Horn Wiring
I am working on wiring the horns for the first time since my 15 year restor=
e. I am working with the original wiring harness and horns. Starting at the=
horns there is one on each side with a jumper wire between the two horns,=
there are 2 purple wires leading to each horn, one wire on each side is ho=
t and wired to the fuse box the second wire is not hot or grounded. I inst=
alled a new horn ring from SS and have one wire from the contact on the hor=
n ring and a second wire for the circle contact off the signal switch, I th=
ink the wire for the circle contact should be hot but I don't seem to have=
a connector for it in the harness under the dash and nothing for the wire =
to the horn ring.
It would seem to me that I should have a hot wire to the ring contact then =
a hot to the horns when the horn ring is pressed. but the wiring harness do=
es not seem to follow that way of thinking.
The wiring diagram is some help but as usual my limited knowledge on this w=
ill probably start a fire.
Any help would be appreciated, I would rather not rewire the circuits so ho=
pefully I can restore the Lucas system.to<http://system.to> its original sp=
lendor.
