HORNS INOPERATIVE - ONE HORN

Test Description

The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.

9: The horns need maximum current flow to operate properly. A high resistance - greater than 0.5 ohm -
in the horn control circuit or the horn ground circuit could cause operating problems with the horns.
Inspect the circuits for faults that would restrict current flow.

Horns Inoperative - One Horn
