Air horns
Dick:
After more thought, the problem may be in the button or the wiring associated
with the transfer from air to electric at the button. If the selector switch
in the air horn position is bad I wouldn't think the air horns would blow. It
is just a selector switch. Don't know how the button is wired. However, it
needs to know which one to blow. Ground the horn button and something will
blow. Just another guess.

Ok, it's not the air transfer valve because the foot air horn works properly.
I wouldn't think it's in the horn button because the electric horn works
properly. Hummm, I'm trying to come up with a reason why it would be the
selector switch because it its on or off. Sounds like it may be something in
between. Wish I had my diagrams here.

Thanks for the reply Leroy. It seems that the dash switch might be going bad.
When it is in the "air horn" position it sticks on for varying amounts of time.
When the dash switch is in the "electric horn" position, everything seems to be
normal. No prolonged blasts. Maybe something is touching the switch terminal and
giving it a resistance ground or the switch itself is dirty inside and by
tapping the wheel it vibrates it and moves away and stops the air horn. Strange
though that it wouldn't do the same thing when the electric horn is used.
Anyway, everything works properly when the switch is in the electric position
and I can still use the air horn using the foot switch.

Thanx again.

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

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.

Air horns
I'm going from memory here, but believe that the foot-button for the
air horn in the '87 is still a valve, not a switch, so operates the
horn directly and has no connection to the electric air-horn valve
nor the selector switch.

The air-horn is actuated electrically by the skinner-valve / solenoid
in the leftmost side of the front overhead bin. Open the left-side
access panel and look left, ... way left, two wires and two black
1/4" air lines. It might be a sticky valve.

Air horns
Hi Again Leroy, Kevin and George.
I've got it working now by just leaving the selector switch in the electric
position. That's the way I normally use it anyway. I only had it in the air
position while in the garage testing why one of the air horns was not working.
Got that horn working ok now. So, I'll just call it quits until I have more
time to explore. The wiring diagram outlines a very simple circuit. Nothing
strange here. I was into the dash awhile back and should have looked into it
then as it was doing this at that time. But, oh well.

Thanks to you all for your help with this one.

Air horns
I first thought that it might be a sticky air valve too Jeff. However, with the
switch in the "electric" position the air horns work properly, and the electric
horns work properly as well. The print that I got from Earl Davis shows an
electric switch on the floor. But, I have not visually verified that.

I went up to replace the chrome covers on my air horns and subsequently

turned them and now they don't work? Ideas?

Air horns
They are a pretty simple item Keith. I would check to see if there is a
large thin washer at the back end. This was out of place on a friends horns
and when I repositioned it everything went back to normal. In my friends
case there weren't a lot of parts to go wrong so I hope that is the same for
your horns.

Air horns
I suspect there is a hole in the horn that aligns with the air supply
in the rear bracket? I can hear the air hissing when I press the
foot button and they worked fine until I turned them? I mean,
otherwise how does the air enter the horn? I guess I need to find a
volunteer to push the button while I turn the horn???

Air horns
Wear ear plugs, air is probably leaking out the rear,

Air horns
Keith,

If you are talking about the cover that keep bugs and road debris out of the
horn, they do no affect the functioning of the horn. I beleve if you look at
them they snap in. unlees they are somehow pushed in so that air cannot move in
the horn. Take another look at them.

Air horns
Ear plugs! Great idea. The covers are not the problem. Turning
them in the bracket somehow caused this or it's simply a
coincidence? I suppose I'll go up there and take one of them out of
the brackets to see how they work.

I'll keep you posted.
