Question
John, first be sure you have a good connection at
the junction block. The wire you are asking about, if it is red it goes to the
alternator.(BAT.) If it's black it's a ground. There seems to be some
controversy as to the rag joint. We had this before. Some seem to think that a
wire has to connect the 2 sides of the rag joint for the horn to work. I have
never been able to prove this. Looking at the schematic the horn is grounded
inside the car through the body.
Some have said that tying the rag joint with a
wire was the only way to get their horn to work. I think it was because they
didn't have the proper ground in side the car. The spring holds the steering
wheel off the canceling cam on the '66 and is part of the horn ground from the
steering wheel to the mast. It's called a horn relay but if it was bad a whole
lot of other things wouldn't work. Look at your schematic and you'll see all
the other areas it supplies power to.

Subject: [Chevelle-List] Horn Relay
Question
Hello
I finished putting my steering column back
together and put on the steering wheel. When I went to try the horn nothing
happened. I tested the power coming into relay seemed ok. Then ran wire from
horn to batttery plus side and they blew ok. Is it possible that relay maybe
bad ? I looked in the wiring schematics for a 66 Chevelle and it shows the
relay and the connection for the wire on the left but on the right it shows
a wire coming off the right but its not showing as going to ground just
shows it going nowhere with a connector on the end. Can you tell me what
that is ?? Also does the spring in the horn button play a part in getting
the horn to blow ??? Thanks in advance for any help
