horn inop on /5 - grounding problem
Posted: Sat Apr 22, 2023 3:38 pm
My R60/5's horn suddenly stopped working. The horn was good (connected it directly to the battery), the wires were good (tested with multimeter), the horn button and headlight switch seemed ok (disassembled, cleaned, tested with multimeter). It turned out the problem was the grounding tab in the left combination switch was not making contact with the mounting screw of the housing. I tried to bend the little metal tab, but it still wouldn't reach, so I dropped some tiny snips of curled up copper wire into the screw hole in order to bridge the gap. Problem solved. Just thought I'd share.
