Klaxon 6V horn wiring diagram

Post by Ron »

I have a 6v klaxon horn that I want to reinstall on a 66 R60. It was not in use for a number of years and I have no idea how to wire the horn. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could email me a photo or diagram depicting the proper ground/hot wire connections.

Thanks,
Ron

Ron,

I just removed my Klaxon horn from my '67 /2.

There are two terminals on the back of it. The one farest from the center
(call it 'A') (ie farest from the mounting stud) uses a connector with two
wires in it. The other terminal, closest to the center (call it 'B')
contains one wire.

Looking at my /2 wiring diagram, this indicates 'B' is ground. Terminal 'A'
is hot (6v). When you push the horn button, terminal 'B' shorts to ground
causing current to flow through the horn.

Brian
