I made a ton of changes to my Bronco recently with the usual intent of improving various things. I put in a 100 mph speedo out of an older truck, I put in a new speedo cable, and I installed a leather wrapped sport steering wheel. My cruise control had never worked anyway, and at my last carb swap I had yanked off all the cc related junk on the manifold. Since I knew I was never going to need or want cc again, I bought the speedo cable without the cruise control box in the middle of it, and I pulled and tossed the connectors for that unit.
Now my horn doesn't work. When I looked at the wiring diagrams, it shows that there are different units for rigs with cruise and without, so instead of just a horn switch, there's some relay that's part of the cc wiring that then activates the horn. :banghead Is there an easy way around this, or am I going to have to do major rewiring? The horn itself works, the horn pad works, but when i push the button all I get is a very quiet sound under the dash, it sounds like either an electrical relay clicking or maybe just a quick spark. I guess I should have known there was some weird way of keeping things straight, there are only the two contacts under the wheel, and with two cruise buttons and the horn on the wheel.... Oh yeah, the speedo doesn't work either. It just picks a speed and stays there. When I pull the cable, it drops to zero. As soon as I drive, it goes to some point and sits. The odometer works fine though.
Man, I really feel like the most long-winded s.o.b. on this forum, my posts always read like novels.
