Not Very Horny

[GALLA_4]

Do the IS200 front horns earth off the bracket and body in order to work?

I painted my horns red and now they dont work any more. Could the paint be not allowing return current to the Battery negativer terminal? as I noted there only seems to be one wire going into the connector of the horn (LIVE)?

Help

Proably, have you checked the earth continuity with a tester ?

[Chris.S]

normally earthed through the body, also might have paint inside the horn itself, stopping it producing any sound, in which case they are f***ed

[Mr Morse]

Yes, the horns are earthed off the body, so if you have painted the brackets you have no earth.

Probably a good opportunity to ditch the OEM horns and fit something that actually scares little old ladies

Whose not very horny? You or the car? (Sorry, bad joke )

**********PROBLEM FIXED*********

I removed the paint from the brackets and they are all horny now again!

Its always the simple things!

Thanks Guys!!!!!

Scareface or any Moderators Please thrash this thread !!!

Don't trash the thread just yet, I bought some aftermarket horns recently, too embarrassed to use the standard horn. Just like the horn on my CRX the noise it makes it pathetic!

Anyway as there is only one wire on the standard horn, how do I go about installing the new on with two wires?

Thanks,

Ash

Ash, one of the wires will be for the earth, you can place this wire between the bracket and the body of the car and the other attaches to the live feed.

Well guys heres what I had last night:

And here is what I have got now:

I am not so sure about them. What do you guys think?

[gsportcars]

Don't like the red colour for them unless there is somthin else to colour code with them if ya know what I mean

They look very outta place

paint them black again or colour code them with somthin else around the front of the car!!

Touche with Scarface on this......

No need to show you've got the horn

Black to Back :duh:

[GALLA_4]

They are ****** and I think I am going to get the RX300 horns in there instead guys! They were all rusty and it was just a last resort!!! Could someone help with sourcing RX300 horns???

[LowRed]

Personally I'd go for the PIAA Sport Horns I got on mine. £30,Good sound off them, not the "Sorry could you move" noise that are standard.

I think the Jap culure is far too polite on the roads

I want my horns to say "Get out the F*cking Way NOW"

Happy Hunting
