 |
|
Hello,
I acquired a 6-volt BOSCH horn that was mistakenly installed in a 12-volt 912 and the horn got fried.
My question is this: can this horn be brought back from the dead or is it a lost cause?
Thanks

Check the resistance of the coil. If it is not an open circuit, the internal contact might just be burnt and need cleaning and/or adjustment.
The wires are pretty robust so I doubt the coil wire itself burnt up. Maybe...
Some helpful info- look toward the bottom of page 1 for photos and general procedure:
