wanted to adjust my horn & took out the 2 screws in back instead of adjusting the 1 I should have. Haven't been able to get a sound out of it since. Motor spins but no sound

Hey Welcome to the VFF
Usually there is one screw that holds the back cover on and the other screw is for the sound adjustment. The cover needs to be in place for the sound to be made
So are you saying that you have 2 screws that hold the cover on and one for the adjustment?3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

Holy Smokes, I can't remember the last time I removed the adjusting screw. All I can tell ya is keep screwing the screw in until it presses the ratchet against the diaphragm. That is a pivot, when you screw in the screw, it teeters the bar against the end of the motor shaft, so it takes almost the whole length of the screw. Just be sure you are using the right screw....the one with all the threads.png "smile")
You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command!Comment

And it worked before you removed the screws?Originally posted by lpl87 View Post
Check in the horn cap to be sure nothing fell out into the cap when you removed the adjustment screw.
A bit more thinking about it, it sounds like you lost the ratchet from the end of the motor when you removed the pressure off the motor. Check around the area and the end cap for the ratchet.Last edited by DaWizard; 08-14-2017, 01:02 PM.You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command!Comment
