[T2] Horn Troubleshooting

[Kevin Guarnotta]

Thanks for all the tips - it appeared to be the copper thing under the steering wheel. I put a piece of cardboard under there - and it now works. 

I know on my other buses, you can adjust the gap between the steering wheel and the pod/think below. I don't see if that is possible on my '78 Westy. Is this adjustable, or do I need to do something to that copper contact thing.

Check with a voltmeter for continuity of 12 volt current to horn...with key on, down under neath the drivers side footwell, where horn is.  Mine is a 74, but maybe that little wire at bottom of column, if it is on a '78, has come loose or rusted....?  I had to grind flloor bracket bolts off on floor, fix wire and then put everything back...but got lazy and replaced ground off floor mount nuts with a single large sheet sheet metal screw, but did not put two screws on opposing sides of column mount, and first trip out, first corner...BEEP  ad nauseum, until I got home, reconnected column wire, remounted screws, viola!  Honks only when I want it to!!

Cheers
