Clickety-Click, but no Beepety-Beep??
« on: February 22, 2012, 03:56:00 am »
I can hear the horn relay click, but no horn sound.
Is this the symptom of a bad relay or bad horn or something else? How can I verify? Tried another relay, same symptom, but not sure if the 2nd relay is any good, the both could be bad.

On my 86, both horns are weak. Maybe they can go bad.

from my experience, weak horn usually means a bad connection or ground. But I guess it could go bad. I think they are made up like a coil inside

It can happen with age.  The old girls hooters went south on you.  I've got a pair from my 87 if you want them. 

I replaced mine with a pair from Advance.  Same horns that are used on the DeLorean.  About $15 each.

If you hear the clickety-click then the relay should be okay. Disconnect the beepety-beep connector at the beepety-beep and while someone falls asleep on the beepety-beep button, check the voltage from the connector to ground. If that's about 12 oompaty-oomps then the beepety-beeper has gone further south than it should.
Unless the ground where the beepety-beep mounts has become goopetied-up. If you remove the beepety-beep and hot wire it to the oompety-oompher, that will certify a bad beepety-beeper or ground or connector at the beepety-beeper.
