[xj] RE: [xj6] Re: horns

Aaron, hi, speaking of horns.

I have a s1, and my horn wiring is all chopped up by the prior owner. when
you get your car back can you tell me which relay is the horn relay ? and
maybe how to identify it ? I have 2 in the passenger side fender firewall,
one is properly mounted and looks to be something like the ignition relay.
the other is mounted more forward below the coil ballast resistor on a real
funny looking bracket, it may not be the original jag relay or bracket is my
guess.

thanks, Ted Stowe-----Original Message-----

The horns on Series One cars, were mounted on the front subframe, a bit
below the engine mounts. (My car is in being repaired, so I can’t have a
good look and say EXACTLY where). From memory, Seies Three subframes still
have the mounts/holes for the horns.

Its not a BAD location… they don’t get killed in an accident, and don’t
get too damaged by the elements. You can still hear them too …

Have fun!

Ted,On our 79, the horn relay can be identified as a round, black unit with two purple with yellow-trace wires connected. One of these goes down to the horns. Someone else will know more and if S1s used the same colors. Alex 79xj6 “Stowe, Ted-SEA” wrote:
