I can't for the life of me figure it out.
i purchased a loom, only the brake light and horn worked.
i rewired it myself, the horn works with brake light and headlight in a fashion.
any tips?
thanks

ok, i'm takin it as its still 6volt unregulated lectrics ,stock super set up , its a "bypass system" with both brake light n horn switches passing current all the time , when pressed they break the circuit an voltage is re-directed to the relevant system. brake light for brake light switch an horn for hornswitch, which carrys the lighting power..
so 1st off ya need to be sure there the right kinds of switches ,theres 2 types for brake light , push to make ,as in when pedals not down its pushing switch closed ,6volt type that you need . and the push to break 12volt thats opposite action .
for light switches theres about 5-6 variations , you need the push to break type horn switch ,ok, 6 volt type , not a 12 volt or dc rally type , an for horn to work there needs to be a demand on the lighting circuit to be re-directed .so are usually wired so pilot lights on permanently , an often as there fiddly problems can occur at the connections .the wires look full in but arent gripped by tinys screws giving intermittent contacts ,or the threads are stripping on brass connecters giving loose connections.
tho if you mean by "in a fashion" horn sounds like a dying duck taking a crap thru a sewed up bumhole , they all do ,thats normal , if its just squeaking a bit often its a loose connecter on rear of horn ,or a intermittent low buzz is a rusty internals on horn ,there not really fixable but often a sharp rap on edge of a wooden table can bring a bit more life out of em, hope that helps n isnt confusing the issue ,H
