Re: 60-66 full body wiring

If you take apart the horn button there is a contact that is engaged when you press on the horn.What you are actually doing is sending a ground signal to your horn relay coil which has power at it and to one side of contact.When ground signal makes it to the coil at horn relay it engages and closes contact to provide 12v to your horn.Thus giving you the beep beep sound.I hope this makes sense.

I am sorry. I was just making fun of the little horn in the diagram. It looks like a bicycle horn to me. I will go home now. Stay warm
