horn problems ..

[WIMPUS]

Hi!

Now got another problem ..  :B

The horn('s) don't work anymore..
I just was thinking those bloody Lucas electrics (Prince of darkness), but wasn't the problem !
I tested with a multimeter and got 12v at the horn's when i pushed the horn switch..
So got the horn's off and tested them with a 12v power supply and... nothing  :-/

Hope when i buy new ones the sound will be sort of the same, i just loved that 'old/classic' sound  :P
I also think that the ones that where on the car are not the original ones ..
Also because they are made in france ! (can't be right!)

They seem to be at a good price  :)

I don't know if your horns were original, so don't worry about new horns.
I think even for Spitfire the original horns were made by either Lucas or Clear Hooter.

Take it apart Wim, clean the inside, especially the contacts, and the diaphragm. Mine stopped working, I had to drill out rivets to take it apart but once I cleaned everything it worked again. Just had to get some big rivets to put it back together again properly.
