[B]One Pantera owner (in Sweden) built his own (documented in the Sept '98 POCA News), but I know of no one else, especially adapting the LeCarra horn button. Before you do any serious work, I suggest you get a schematic and note the toruouse path electrons trace to make the stock horn work. Then remove the steering wheel covers and note the stock horn wiring that will be exposed. Factor in the requirement to reroute wires in the turn-signal switch, which is impossibly expensive to replace, has zero spare parts available, is delicate beyond belief and difficult to disassemble. Finally, you may be different, but in my 23 years of ownership, I MAY have honked the horn 5 times.... and two of them were at car shows where one has to prove everything worked.
Thanks Jack. I've traced the wiring, replaced the horns (which WERE shot), checked relay and fuses. I believe the problem lies in the stalk (a subject you wrote on previously). I was leery about playing with that assembly, given the delicacy and EXPENSE associated with it. Personally, I feel that the stalk is a STUPID place for a horn button (so much for Italian idiosyncracies). And even though you've only honked once or twice in 23 years, in NEW JERSEY, IT'S A WAY OF LIFE! (and death due to the idiots that get so close, you could PUNCH their sideview mirrors in!)
