Scout II horn gone bad!

Scout hornI have a 1975 Scout II and my horn stopped working.   Of course I started investigating at the horn button.   I finally discovered that the horn button was fine and It was grounding the horn relay circuit (found under the hood).  Then I found out that the horn relay was working fine too.  So, I assumed that the horn had gone bad.  I did not check for voltage at the horn, because it was behind the drivers side head light. (I am sooo lazy some times.)  I ordered a new horn and waited a few days for it to arrive.

It arrived, I grabbed one beer because every body knows this is a one beer job.   I removed the head light and found that there was nothing wrong with the horn.  The wire that connected to the horn had worked it’s way loose.

There I was, ready for a horn party and nothing needing installation.   I installed the new horn anyway, now I have two!!  (it is only a little louder)
