Datsun 1200 used dual horns (Japan STD models used a single horn). The horn system uses a three-connector relay, which is bolted to the right-side strut tower just below the ignition coil.

Horn Button

The horn contact is part of the turn signal switch. If this tab is bent, or electrically burned, the horn won't work. Ditto if the T/S switch is loose.

Wiring

Horn wiring schematic:
14974.jpg

  • Fuse 'H' is in the Fuse Box
  • + battery voltage is supplied by the horn relay. The horn button switch earths the relay, causing it in turn to supply voltage to the horn. As the horn is a high amperage device, this keeps the power wires out of the steering wheel
  • Earth (ground) for the horn is just the fact that it's bolted to the core support panel
  • Earth for the horn button goes through the steering wheel hub, which is bolted to the steering gearbox shaft, so it is earthed via the metal of the steering column/gearbox.
