Steve, If you have a single horn, the wire coming out of the steering column
(from the button) is connected to the horn. The other horn wire goes to the
positive battery. If you have dual horns, a horn relay is usually used.
Here is the contact intormation and a plug from him on his other items that he
works on.

Ok, all this talk about restoring the horn button has got me feeling guilty.
Mine not so bad, but could use some attention. So how do you remove the button?
Does it kinda pry and pop off?

Jim, the horn
My '48 3100 came to me with the horn not working - no
horn installed, no horn relay, and a short in the
steering column bearing wiring. I replaced the
steering column bearing, installed a horn, put in a
new horn button retainer and contact spring and
bushing. And I wired it all up. It works fine bu
The horn contacts may be shorted inside the horn button assembly. This

My 1940 half ton had only 1 fuse in it. I have decided to add a nice small 8
circuit fuse block to it. My plan was to use a relay to switch power on and
off to the fuse block. The relay will be controlled by the ignition switch.
The only 6 volt relay that I have is from an old positive ground Ford.
I don't see why a headlight relay can't be used for a fuse
block feed relay. It is certainly continuous duty rated,
I just did a google search on 6 volt headlight relay, and
on 6 volt headlight relay sale and got many hits.

When you run current through a coil of wire it becomes a magnet
(electro-magnet) and attracts any thing magnetic. It doesn't care about
polarity or
anything. Don't know how long the relay will last if on all the time, I ran
