Thread: Horn - Short Circuit

Couldn't see exactly what was shorting on what, but a nice simple fix.

So I did an oil and filter change as well That'll be good for another couple of months.

Discov's have two horns, a Hi & a Lo note.


Earlier this year I wondered why one of them was a bit ****. Sorted it down to the vibrator bit being a bit rusted/seized through lack of use.
Locked the horn button down, gave it a good burst of WD40 up the trumpet & a few thumps with a bit of 3" x 2" while it was energised & 'squawking'.

That fixed it as it slowly came good, & now I give it a routine honk in the shed to keep the bits free.

Discov's have good horns. [envy smiley]
