horn troubleshooting
I restored my horns with the nla kit, basically replaced the gasket and cleaned and painted the sheet metal. Now when I test I get clicking but no horn. Any rsources or tips? Thanks Joe

Joe,
This is all covered in our books.
But here goes.
There are two adjustments.
The one that is most often adjusted is on the back of the horn body.
Try adjusting it this way.
Connect an ohmmeter across the terminals.
Turn the screw out until the contacts open.
Then turn CW in one turn.
Then try the horn.
Do this on the bench, it is easier.
Then when in the car further adjust for maximum noise.
If this doesn't work there is another adjustment.
