No Horn.

My horn hasn't been working. When I first got it it was weak. I adjusted the horn and it was fine. Then one day I had some smoke coming out of my left hand controls. I opened them up and found the horn wire to be not hooked up to anything. I taped it up and there was no smoke, everything else worked good. I tried some things and finally got the horn to work, until I screwed the control back to the handle bars, then it wouldn't work once i got it tight. Here is the wire, does anyone know where I need to attach it and if there is anythign else I need to do.

it would be really helpful if youd put what bike you have in your signature on the bottom of the post..it sure makes it easier to help you troubleshoot your bike this way dont you think? since i have no idea what bike youre talking about i cant help you and i think thats why nobody has answered your post yet...there are a lot of helpful people here just dying to answer your questions...give us a bit of info please!! ready to help...steve

Try connecting it to one of the contacts on the backside of the switch. I can't remember off hand which one it connects to. I could look tomorrow in the daylight. The switch housing usually needs to be grounded to the handle bars as well, so if you have painted/black bars, the housing may not be grounding well.

Thanks Steve, I got the signature on. also I got the horn fixed. I had everything right, btut I just replaced the whole wire from the horn to switch and it's ok now. Thanks
