Does anyone have a pic of a dual horn setup showing which wires connect to which tabs on the horn?

And can the horns be dismantled and repaired? mine have gone dead and power checked ok at the horn wiring when horn pushed.

Try this post "Hi Low horns".  Sorry I can't copy the link. It gives a clear pic of the horns.  Can't help with repairs.  Cheers Ron

It doesn't matter how the horns are connected in them selves,and you can dismantle the one with the screws around it,just take ya time and patience,I put up a post about it a while ago not sure if it's this site though

The horn wires should have power to the horn all the time on one side. Power comes from the other side the horn back up  the steering column. When the button is pressed it earths out thus making the horn work.

Is this not how your is hooked up? Every Torana I've had was wired this way?

Have you tried adjusting it or is it the no adjustable type?

Thanks for the replies fellas. This is a dual horn setup and both are adjustable. I pulled both apart today and found a fair bit of corrosion in there gave them a good clean will test tonight and if they still dont work will try adjusting them.

Have nfi why i put this in the engine section.
