1969 Roadrunner horn location

[jimm69]

Can anyone post pics of where the 69 Roadrunner horn should be bolted?

I also would like to know where the relay is located? In my 69 someone took the horn out so have to put a new one in and I am not sure where relay should be located or where the wire from the steering column is?

the relay is just a little bit below and to the right of the horn (looking at it from above in front of the car). The wire is located behind the horn pad, it's black and connects to whatever that round metal part is. Sorry don't know the name of it.

So black wire will come out of the firewall somewhere and run to the relay?

[Dad's69RR]

Do one of those wires run from the firewall?

Yes, you have a wire from the horn to the relay.

 

[Dad's69RR]

Need to find it or may have run a new one

Here is what I found but not sure if it is for the horn? It has a gray wire and a black wire with a white stripe. Don't know if you can see in the picture but it y's off the alternator and there is a cut brown wire out of the same harness. Any chance this was for horn relay and horn? Connector all chewed up so hard to tell where it went?

The color wires for the relay should be black with tracer, dark green, and violet. No brown wire there. Honestly, you might be better off and safer buying a new harness. The forward engine harnesses aren't all that expensive especially if you wait for a 20% off coupon to come out.

I did just that yesterday. I didnt want to take a chance on burning my car to the ground after I spent all this money on it because I reused my 45 year old wiring. Year one had a St Patricks Day sale that was 25% off. Not sure if it was just yesterday or not. They do discount their wiring harness when they have a sale where Classic Industries does not.

Those harnesses from YO (M&H Harness) are top notch. Best thing I could have done to my car.

Dad's69RR - If you do get a new harness you may have to move your coil to a more stock location, I'm not sure the wires for it will stretch that far. Also if you have electronic ignition they sell a harness already modified to handle it.

 

[Dad's69RR]

Eagleone would that be listed as the forward engine harness? Assuming this would include the horn and relay wires?

 

[eagleone1983]

Yes. the only other major harness in the engine bay is the forward light harness and that runs along the driver's side.

 

[Dad's69RR]

I may need a picture of standard routing. Former owner install electronic ign. but as you saw mounted coil in wrong place. Hope it will be plug and play but I am not that lucky!

 

[eagleone1983]

When you are ready to install it let me know and you can give me a call or I can send you pictures of my car. Better yet, if you have Skype I can take my laptop into the garage and guide you through it in real time.

Thanks Eagleone!

I have another question. from the pictures HYRDGOOn posted and Tempest 455 posted, looks like the brackets on the horn are different. I purchased a reproduction horn and it has a smaller bracket than the horn that came with my parts car. Although I am unsure the parts car horn is for sure correct, it looks to be since it is all dirty and crusty. From the pictures, the Tempest 455 bracket looks more like what I think my car came with and HYRDGOON's picture looks more like what came with the horn.

comments?

The repro and originals are different. The repro ones do not have the correct bracket mounting bolts. The orginals had slot type bolts.
