Horn Wiring
I received an email on how to wire this horn up and don't know the answers. Anyone know what is required? Here is the email request:
It appears from the pictures I've seen in reply to my post that it's a 1933 horn. I'm trying to find out how the wires connect to the inside (if that makes sense). |

Re: Horn Wiring
This is a picture of a junk 33-36 Ford horn motor. It had two wires with bullet ends going to it. They press fit into the metal clamps that were once attached to the insulating blocks that are in front of the motor. The wire from one clamp connected to the top of the vibrator and also to one end of the condensor. The wire from the other clamp connected to the electromagnet. One of the input wires was always hot (should have had a fuse in line) while the other input wire went to the bottom of the steering column where it was grounded when the horn button contacted ground .
Since the wires are buried under the horn cap, one could solder them directly to the appropriate wires, bypassing the metal clamps. Looks like your horn motor could use some mechanical and electrical renovation. |

Re: Horn Wiring
The hook up looks similar to a Model A horn.
