1985 ford Ranger horn help...

[The.demon14]

Ok guys I need some help I recently finished a Ranger I bought as a daily driver only to find out the horn doesn't work.. And by volt meter tests no power to the horn.. Been reading and saw there isn't a horn relay for my year truck... So what could be problem.. I have an inspection on Monday.. And I'd like to fix it properly

You know you push in on the turn signal switch correct?

 

[AndyB.]

On an 85 it could be turn signal or the center of the wheel. It was a mid year production change.

Later model 85

My model of Ranger doesn't have that switch... Mine is as the later trucks are the pad on the wheel..

Well, if it has to work by Monday!

I don't know your state's requirements so ........ But, here, I'd get a push button horn switch, inline fuse, wire and a horn and hook'er up!!!

Well pa state would allow it.. But the technicians around me ain't the.. Umm brightest bulbs

Well, you will just have to do it yourself.

Battery + post (or the side of the starter relay with all the wires on it) to inline fuse, to wire, to horn button, to wire, to horn (if horn has only one wire) and then to body for a ground (if horn has two wires).

See this: (except I would use an inline fuse between the battery and the button.
