Air horns

[Leroy Eckert]

Dick:
I don't have my diagrams in front of me but following the theory that air horns
do not blow without air , I would look for a valve that transfers coach air to
the horns. See how it is configured. It must have input and output air and
at least two wires, one for the foot switch and one for the horn button. Track
the wires back and go from there. Sounds like something is holding the valve
open, or if it's near the wheel after you whack it the valve closes. That
would indicate internal valve problems. Mine has another switch that changes
the wheel horn button from air to electric. The foot air horn remains
operating on air so I can play them together. Hope this guess helps you.

PS - I'm not so smart alter all - NO RELAY. Now what? Both horns stay on after
button or foot switch is released and bumping the steering wheel stops them. Any
suggestions?

Thanks Kevin,
I just discovered that I also have Grover horns. The product sheet in the Blue
Box indicated Jabsco and I was just going by that. Then I climbed up there and
dissembled the non working horn and discovered it was a Grover. I tried to call
them but it must have been lunch hour. I'll try again later. My problem now
seems to be a sticking relay. They blow for quite a long time. My wife
discovered that hitting the steering wheel would make them stop which probably
means that the relay is close enough to the steering column to be jarred by
hitting the wheel. Oh well, I'll keep looking.
My guess is that Grover may have made air horns for Jabsco at one time and
don't now. Years ago I installed Jabsco horns on several boats including my own.
But, that was a long time ago in another life.

Thanx again.
