Can someone tell me is there supposed to be 1 wire to the horn connector or 2?? If 2 then what are the wire colors?? Mine only has 1 wire going to the connector and not working.
Thanks
Road runner horns die.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Maybe it can be resurrected.
Here's how a horn works......
There's a flexible plate, and a set of electrical contacts attached.
At rest, they are in contact.
When you hit the horn, the current pulls the diaphragm away and this disconnects the current. It falls back to the connection and repeats at the reasonant mechanical frequency of the oscillating member, in this case, the plate of the horn. There is a screw on the horn.
This is your horn-loud horn-no horn at all adjuster. Play with it.
It is the perfect gap that provides contact yet allows full loud honk.
But as a set of points DO eventually burn away, you must adjust for contact burn-away, which is NORMAL.
Now, if your road runner horn is weak, I'd suggest a deep dip in Deoxit D5, or remove the adjuster screw and spray heavily......then put the adjuster screw back in... find the point of contact, and enjoy the new louder honk.
Deoxit D5 available at Radio Shack, electronic magic spray for any kind of connection.
