1968 Mustang - Horn Issues
Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is fuse or relay in the system for a 1968 Ford Mustang Horn?
I have a 1968 Ford Mustang with one of those Grant (link below) aftermarket steering wheels and my horn no longer works.
https://www.cjponyparts.com/grant-st...-1969/p/STWG2/
They have (or at least the era of the one I purchased) had a crappy design where the center cap would constantly fall off and the horn would engage, non-stop. So eventually I just pulled the wire for the horn in there. This was like 8 years ago.
But I'm selling the car and need to get it working again. So I've re-attached the wire and now the horn no longer works. I'm hoping there is some sort of hidden fuse or relay I don't know about. Or that if one of the horns quits the other does too. It seems unlikely that both would have burned out on me.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

You didn't read the entire installation manual. If you don't cut the spring, sooner or later you will have smoke coming from the horn button.
The horn and brake lights have a circuit beaker in the light switch.

Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the help. Though I could have done without the misplaced accusation that I didn’t read the instructions.
Perhaps you didn’t read the entire post. The horn worked just fine, the center cap, which holds the horn from engaging constantly falls off. That was the issue. Not faulty installation.
But I do appreciate the clarity about the circuit breaker in the light switch.

Hah/my bad
Well now you've gone and outed me as an a-hole!
Sorry for the rash response then. But I love the photo of your 'Stang. I am going to miss the hell out of my car. But since I live in the city I never get to drive it. And feel like it should be out there on the road.
Truly though, thanks for taking the time and the help!

I only wish it were mine. It is my grandsons. He took it from the yellow unit to the red and learned how to weld, upholster, work on the engine, do the dash, put in new floor, front end and lots of other stuff. It really was a worth while project and now I don't ever hear " lefty-tighty, righty-loosy"!
