I would try getting the voltage at the horns up first, as low voltage can cause exactly those symptoms. Because of the way they work, horns can actually draw more current if the voltage is low (especially if one was not sounding at all). It's possible that one or both of the horns is bad, but not likely I think (and you'll need to repair the electrical stuff anyway even if you do wind up replacing the horns). -- Randall ** triumphs@autox.team.net ** Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/triumphs-archive@autox.team.net |
