Boat horn quit working

[Fuzzy]

I have Lund Tyee with a electic horn that has a push button switch that quit working. When the button is pushed it makes a faint sound like "kerr-plunk" but no horn sound. I bought a new horn, hooked it up and the new horn does the same thing, no honk, just the faint kerr-plunk sound. I hooked a voltage meter to the wires and when the horn button is pushed I get 12.6 volts.

A friend suggested that I had a bad ground, so I rewired the black ground wire from the new horn directly to the ground on the fuse box. This made no difference. Any suggestions?

Start looking at the other end now. Sounds like a bad switch-button!

Test the horn by by-passing the switch momentarily.

I'll bet it works fine...the new horn that is.

Maybe even the the old horn will work,I have had

horns get dirt, dust, etc in them and not work.

Fuzzy, did you ever get this working? What did you find out if so?

No it still does not work. When I connect the horn directly to the battery it works fine. I'm thinking it must be the switch, I just have not had time to deal with this issue. I bought a hand held gas powered horn to be legal till I get a chance to get back to it.
