T electric horn wiring

Post by Bruce Compton » Fri Jun 09, 2023 5:42 pm

Does anyone have a diagram of the wiring inside the T horn. The one I have has had the wiring removed and the contact plate is just hanging in mid-air. Thanks in advance; Bruce

I might have some photos of the inside but you need to specify whether you have a magneto horn or battery horn. A make, year, and model# of the horn will probably help too.

A picture of the horn internals would help.
Some 6v DC horns have one lead for the positive connection and the horn shell needs to be grounded.
If it has two posts for connection shouldn't matter which is + or - just which way sounds better
