If your horns are not working and you hear a click, but no Toot or Tweet, your horn relay may need attention. I was going to get a new one, (original one on car) but someone suggest this fix , (clean points)

That is exactly what I did , Take off relay, undo one tab on bottom and remove cover.


I found 46 years worth of rust and junk, but all was intact. Filed points and cleaned up case and base.

As you can see from photos, the coil and thin wire from the contact to coil was still intact. Once I cleaned parts and did a little rust prevention, I put back cover, installed back in car and

My two tone horns are working again. I wait on the silver plating, save it for my son when he gets the car.

The pictures are in order of taking apart and working on parts

Jack, Thanks for the lesson. I don't think my 2001 has one quite like that, but it's nice to know.:thumb
