Operation
The horn system includes two tuned loud-tone horns, one of them high-pitched and the other low-pitched. When the ignition switch is in the drive position, a positive voltage (+54) is taken via the actuating coil in horn relay 68 and slip ring switch 352 to the horn switches on the steering wheel.

When one of the horn switches is closed, the relay will be energized and horn 40 will be supplied via fuse 26 and the relay contacts.

Fault-tracing hints
The horn will be operative when the ignition switch is in the drive position.

1. Check fuse 26 and check that the supply to it is live.
2. Check the relay by earthing relay terminal 85. The horn should then sound.
3. Check the cable harnesses and earth connections.
