weird short

[vince at performancecarstereo.com (Vince)]

Sounds to me like there's a ground issue.  Check the ground terminal next to
the fusebox and make sure nothing got unhooked.  then check at the horn
itself and make sure its ground is good.  Test the horn right at its wiring
plug to make sure it's still good.

Sounds like a fun way to scare a passenger.... oh crap we're overheating!

sounds like horn itself (or wiring leading to it) is shorted.

> I have a weird short in my 84 rocc. It involves the horn. Sometimes the
horn works, most of the time it doesn't. When I press the button though,
there is a click sound and my headlights grow considerably dimmer. Also,
regardless of wheither or not a noise is produced, my oil temp needle pegs
itself to max when I press the button. The oil temp still has a working
light and seems to read the oil temp accurately. When I drive the very
desolate 25mi to my house at 1:30am after work, sometimes I'll amuse myself
by hitting the button and watching the oil needle going *BOING* to max. It's
good for a chuckle now and then.
