Posted February 12, 200916 yr comment_273919 Pardon me for this total newbie way of describing this...Our 240Z's horn doesn't work. When I removed the headlight switch to clean the contacts, I noticed that the combo switch/turn signal part had a broken plastic tab on the bottom. I had pulled the switches off my 260Z earlier and recognized the broken piece as being what looked like a mounting bracket for a curved piece of metal that appears to be a contact point for the horn, and a loose red wire with a taped up end. I looked in my Haynes manual and couldn't find a diagram showing what it might be.Is this broken bit a piece of the horn? If so, can be replaced, or do I have to replace the whole switch? I know the horn works as there is a button under the dash that activates the horn, though I haven't checked yet to see if it's directly wired to the horn or patched in through the harness.

February 12, 200916 yr comment_273927 The broken curved piece of metal is the ground contact for the horn button, The red wire in all likelihood use to be the positive contact from the horn. I say use to be since you say you now have a button under the dash that operates the horn now.You might consider having one or both of your switches rebuilt by Dave, here's his post. I had my done recently...and they came back looking great, or he maybe able to repair, or tell you how to go about repairing the horn contact.http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24304&highlight=Combo+switch+rebuild Edited February 12, 200916 yr by peng155 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/30800-broken-horn-question/#findComment-273927 Share on other sites More sharing options...
