75 series horn issues

[Joscoz]

Hi all, so I'm having issues with the horn on my 93 hzj 75. I managed to get it going by extending the pin to the steering wheel, then I changed the headlight/ wiper controller and it doesn't work again. There's power at the controller pin, power at the horn, fuse is good and the relay clicks when I test it on the battery but not when installed. I'm out of ideas, any helpful tips?

Have you given power directly to the horn itself to verify it's working?

Yes I have, new horns.

Yes I have, new horns.

Wondering if I blew the new relay by not disconnecting the battery when I changed out the headlight wiper controller, can a relay still be faulty even though it still clicks?

I think its unlikely, relays normally are reliable.

You are getting power at the horn when you press the button but it's not working? Either the horn is faulty or you dont have a good ground. Check that your earth is being made.

Fixed, I dropped the steering column to check wiring from the relay, played around inspecting wires didnt find anything, tried the horn and it works. It was moving these things with the orange plugs, what are they ?

Glad youve found the problem, loose connector or broken wire. I'd be inspecting each one carefully
