Saturn Surplus

Are you using new 14 ga. wire? All my problems were between the connector at the bottom of the steering wheel shaft and the solenoid.

40 Years!! But I thought it came with an extended warranty. :(

Installed the new solenoid from White Owl today and connected the 24V and then the ground and instant horn. Tried unplugging the wire at the steering column and still blowing. Ran an separate wire from the steering column lead to the solenoid and it works like a champ. Solenoid was indeed bad...

Understand what you are saying. The reason I am curious is that if the power to the solenoid is constant and doesn't require the accessory switch to be on, which mine is, then why doesn't appear at the circuit breaker. I only show 24V at the C/B when the accessory switch is on. Anyway, George...

Thanks Steel. Not trying to beat a dead horse here but I am trying to gain a understanding of each element of the horn circuitry. I did test the circuitry from the button to the wire leading to the solenoid. It is okay. I was just trying to understand two areas. First, if the solenoid...

I am still trouble shooting my horn circuit. As said before, I get 24 volts (constant) at on one of the wires connected to the solenoid. Based on the wiring diagram, that must be the one coming from the circuit breaker. Logic tells me I should also be getting the same voltage on one of the...

So, if I am reading the schematic correctly, #10 wire runs from the magnetic relay at the starter, to the horn circuit breaker and then runs to the horn relay via #25 wire.

At this point, I am not sure I know a solenoid from a circuit breaker. Anyway, continuity on the C/B is correct and there is no continuity on the solenoid so I will order one tomorrow and, hopefully, all will be good. Thanks to all for the help.

There is no continuity between terminals of the solenoid so I will order one of those but I would like to double check the C/B before I place the order. Is there a simple test?

Thanks DH. Will do. Is there a good way to check the circuit breaker. The one in questions connects the 25 and 10 wires. Thanks,

DH, are you talking continuity between the terminals of the horn solenoid once the wires are disconnected?

Today I pulled the wires from the solenoid and one is indeed showing 24V. The other I am not sure about. I tried leaving the one wire with 24V connected and grounding the other terminal of the solenoid and nothing happened. Not sure how to check continuity on the second terminal when...

I looked over 9-2320-209-20-3-1. I is great for removal and replacement but I could not find a troubleshooting procedure. Thanks to everyone I have several things to try.

I will track down the circuit breaker and test it.

After installing the new button kit, I disconnected the connector at the base column, turned on the power switch and tested it with a 24V trouble light. Nothing. Then I disconnected the two wires at the horn solenoid and turned on the power. Nothing. I read in a previous thread that the horn...

I installed a new horn button kit and steering column wire today and my horn still does not work. I searched to find the TM number for trouble shooting but no luck. Will someone please tell me the TM number with trouble shooting info. Thanks.
