i have a 1970 mustang and for some reason my horn stopped working.
before anyone says it, it is not the contact ring or any kind of brushes. i have removed the steering wheel disconnected the 2 wires that are there. i traced one all the way to the front where it plugs into the horn and checked continuity and it is fine. the other i am guessing is the power but no matter what position the key is in when i check the wire with a tester i get nothing. another weird problem that i noted is that the hazard lights no longer work either. the directionals both work fine and no fuses are blown.
so my questions are 1) where does the power wire go to i can not track it and 2) anyone have any guesses or things for me to test?
thanks!
UPDATE #1: while i was driving just now i was flipping the hazard switch and off and sometimes it would come on. so with this 2 weird things. the lights didn't flash they just stayed solid and when this happened and i hit the horn it would take a bit and then honk but super lower and quick and the hazards would dim.
UPDATE #2: while checking the power again i noticed something strange. at first it thought there was no power getting to the hot lead for the horn but then upon closer inspection i saw that the tester was indeed lit but so dim i could barely see it. i traced the wire down the column o the plug and disconnected hat and it is still dim from there. i can not for the life of me figure out where the wire goes from there. anyone have any ideas why the power to that wire would be so weak?
