I am working on wiring the horns for the first time since my 15 year
restore. 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 hot  and wired to the fuse box the second wire is not hot or grounded. I
installed a new horn ring from SS and have one wire from the contact on the
horn ring and a second wire for the circle contact off the signal switch, I
think 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
does not seem to follow that way of thinking.
The wiring diagram is some help but as usual my limited knowledge on this
will probably start a fire.
Any help would be appreciated, I would rather not rewire the circuits so
hopefully I can restore the Lucas system.to its original splendor.

Bob
