Head scratching is not good for the nerves

 The horn button is proving somewhat problematic, an understatement if ever there was one.

The horns worked, I knew this. Last year it took ages to get the right connections via a relay. Eventually managed it. The Haynes and Advance diagrams are wrong !

The horn push lever acts a an earth to activate the circuit. I wondered why there was constant power on the purple circuit but no horn sound.

Back to the present, no horn.

A wire did come loose, or maybe two on the relay. Regardless of which way round it is wired no joy.

I had found online two diagrams, both different, but one did show the switch via earth. These did not work !

I did find the two wires that when connected and the horn lever depressed continuity sounded, yay.

However, each wire had two wires in the spade connector ????. 

Then the bottom fuse in the fuse block keep blowing.why?

Then a continuity check on the bottom fuse holder spades gave nothing, why??

It was getting dark by then and the new trusty Rolson torch had given up the ghost anyway.

So with a headache and a night sure to be restless, Morpheus beckons.

Not helped by the fact we are dog sitting for son #1 for two weeks. She has a bladder the size of a walnut but still wakes us ( me usually) at least twice in the early hours for a roam down the garden to pee and bark randomly at leaves rustling, bless her.


How I hate electrics. 

Must get the electrician in to wire in some lights for the garage, it may add to my frustrations though.

Not even touched the starter motor or the radiator or the flashers right hand side.

Any advice would be appreciated
