I was going through the electrical stuff as part of my PMCS. And found out that the horn would not work, but do something as i could hear a clicking sound from the fusebox area.
Found out the wire to the horn was clipped and missing just after the filter cap. So i soldered a new wire on after checking the cap isnt OL.
Then i verified 12v and sure enough there was. But also 12v without the horn button being pressed. It only went to .3v after turning the service switch off.
And here is where i state. Diodes have jumper envy. And you know what- once they turn into a jumper, thats the good life- they'll never turn back. And with that said need to be replaced. Or as in this case cut out. I think the only purpose is to avoid some backfeed anyway.
So to make a long story short. Its better to check for a diode that turned to a jumper, rather than clipping the wire to the horn.
