#521858 yinzguys (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 358 Help! Horn Stopped working... 5 Years, 7 Months ago   any ideas as to why the horn wouldn't work? I checked all my connections after I did the wire extensions for the Kong Bar. I checked an double checked and see no sign of a broken splice or wire damage. Is there a specific plug wire location for the horn connection, or are the plugs populated at random within the specific loom? Is there a good option to add an auxiliary unit since I am days away from needing an inspection?   Logged     08 Road Star S 16\" Kong Bars Shark Fin Freedom True Duals Reckless Bluetooth Fairing CV   The administrator has disabled public write access. #521879 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 17430 Re:Help!

It isn't the most heavy duty switch and the contacts can get corroded.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #522232 yinzguys (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 358 Re:Help!

If you are its the horn, if your not its wiring or switch.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #522253 yinzguys (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 358 Re:Help!

It isn't the most heavy duty switch and the contacts can get corroded. he housing and the switch look good on the inside. It has to be a wire splice that pulled loose when inserting into the bars. Since I already did all that twice, I am not in a hurry for a third. Is there any aftermarket product that comes recommended as an alternative? On the same note; I know a horn is required for inspection, but is it required to be handlebar mounted?   Logged     08 Road Star S 16\" Kong Bars Shark Fin Freedom True Duals Reckless Bluetooth Fairing CV   The administrator has disabled public write access. #522328 SaltyJack (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 343 Re:Help!

I mounted it down where the front horn was between the shifter and the frame.   Logged     Artifical Intelligence is Better Than No Intelligence At All !   The administrator has disabled public write access. #522335 yinzguys (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 358 Re:Help!

Once I get it working, I will definitely look into upgrading. thanks   Logged     08 Road Star S 16\" Kong Bars Shark Fin Freedom True Duals Reckless Bluetooth Fairing CV   The administrator has disabled public write access. #522337 Frosty (User) Chrome ain't for sissies Platinum Boarder Posts: 2372 Re:Help!
