:wink-new: Hooked up the horns on my BT-7 and when I turn on the key they are constantly beeping. Even taking horn button out and making sure that horn contact isn't touching. Does anyone know which wire or wires I have wrong in the trafficator ? Help !

If the red taillight wire has been fried, it can cause an internal short inside the trafficator harness that will cause this. Solution is to replace the trafficator harness.

Check too, for chaffed/grounded wires where they exit the steering column stator tube. Disconnecting those wires where they attach at the main harness__usually center of grill opening, under the Healey Wings badge__should stop the blaring.

It gets really fun, when the wires in the stator tube short out (as a result of a turn-signal wire at, oh say, the LF wheel, gets shorted) and then you can't turn the engine off. Seen that happen to Patricia Dewitt; couldn't have happened to a nicer B**ch (snicker, snicker...).
