Horn Issue

[Typhus Concussion]

Okay my horn was working and not isn't. Looking for some advice, here is what I've done so far.

1-checked the grounds that I know of
2-checked horn connections at 25a and 26s
3-checked the brush control, good
4- replace horn button
5- check for continuity from the button to the column
6- checked the horn straight to the battery, good


I'm at a bit of a lose at the moment. Trying to trace the 26a wire but I can't find where it comes into the cab of the truck. What else am I missing?

One horn wire is always hot. The ground wire goes to the horn button. The steering column has a ground wire. When you bush the button, it sends the ground to the horn and it sounds.
Oh, you have to have the light switch turned on. That would be sad if you did all that and all you had to do was turn on the lights....

Stupid question - but did ya turn on the lights?

Not a dumb question, yes I did, I meant to list that to prevent any off feedback.

There is a small bushing that is located between the horn button electrical connection and the wire connection that exits through the steering column shaft. If it is not there, your horn will not work.

You're not missing much. The horn is more embarrassing to use.

Did you take a meter and see if you are getting 24v to the horn when you push the horn button....horns do go bad.

Yes I bought a 24volt electric air horn because the other one sounded like a clown horn. That horn works off of the battery, so I assumed it was a line issue

Embarrassing! NOT AT ALL.
I love the horn on my M998!

I just wish I could drive through traffic like this to work with that horn:

I don't think those ******* SOBs can hear GD thing when they're blasting their music.
Hmmwv horn is on par with the General Lee's Dixie horn. In fact that should be my next upgrade on the m1038.

Dilvoy, I have the brass bushing and the rubber bushing, maybe I'm not putting Them back together properly. I don't see a picture with both bushingso together, do you have one?
