Re: Horn Goes Off when right turn.

Tom thanks for responding, still having the problem & a friend told me about this contact behind steering wheel & that it may be distorted which is causing it to short out when I make the turn.
I will strip the steering down at the weekend.

Re: Horn Goes Off when right turn.

Vic, it's a 1971 roadster, the horn is in the centre of the steering wheel.
I had a look to see if any wires are catching on the steering column when i turn right, but there's no signs. I was thinking it may I need to remove the centre from the steering wheel & see what's going on there.

Horn Goes Off when right turn.

Re: Capillary Car Thermostat

Thanks for the response guys. I'm driving a 1970 model and it doesn't allow a otter switch to be installed. I'll pick a replacement hose from Moss, and the Capillary is available on line from numerous outlets. I'll seal the hose with gasket sealant.
