DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
HORNS
The horn system is powered by a 15 amp fuse
located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
which is HOT at all times on circuit F31. This circuit
supplies voltage to the coil and contact side of the
horn relay.
When the operator presses the horn switch, a
ground path is completed on the coil side of the horn
relay through the switch. The horn relay, located in
the PDC, then CLOSES the relay contacts. Voltage is
passed through the CLOSED relay contacts on circuit
X2 to the horn. Grounding for the horn is on the Z1
circuit to the left headlamp ground which is located
on the left side of the radiator closure panel.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
