Well today was find the electrical Gremlin day... First was some what easy, blown fuse for the brake lights/hazards/ETC, including Cigarette lighter.. The lighter was un-plugged already, so I tested all other circuits and nothing, okay :banghead:. Moved on to the horn in-op, not so easy, relay was un-plugged, okay #-o. So, I started checking everything out and what the hell, now the horn blows if I move the turn signal stalk towards me and if I turn the wheel to the right... Then the fuse blows, what!!! Un-Plug the horns, hit the button, fuse blows, okay. So I start working backwards and un-plug the relay, I then put power to the supply connector going to the horns and pops my 10 amp circuit breaker jumper, crap a dead short some where! Start tracing the wire and the wire is pinched at battery tray.. One problem solved, now back to the steering wheel issue.. I started to pull the wheel and noticed that the column had a lot of in and out play! I pull the wheel and someone had replaced the turn signal switch. I look around and there are brass shavings all over the place. The horn contact wheels is seized and flat spotted. I spent a lot of time trying to figure it out and then it hits me, why is the column loose, Well previous replacement of T/S switch, they removed the clip for the column for some reason, maybe to make the switch replacement easier. WELL DAMN, refit the clip clean up all the shavings and refit the steering wheel and EVERYTHING now works!! I think the steering wheel issue also caused the brake light fuse to blow as well.. I am going to re-wire the horns anyway while doing the headlight Relays and 10 Gauge Alternator by-pass.. Thanks for listening!:cheers:
