This coopery guy has the remnant of a bullet connector in the tunnel-like socket.... horn related I think. what should plug in, an earth or a positive of some sort. makes a nice image.


'coppery guy beneath the steern wheel

 

That's the grounding tab for the horn. The wire should be purple/black....but I'm only two sips into my first cuppa coffee so don't take that to the bank. If you find the wire and plug it in and the horns blows...well...you'll then know why it was unplugged

I read that as "ground horn to a cup of hot coffee' which sounds like pretty solid advice I reckon.

 

Classic bit of Lucas engineering!

 

From personal experience, I can tell you that you should remove that contact (let's call it a brush), clean it and clean the rotating copper part (let's call that an armature). Then reassemble using di-electric grease. If not, that contact against the armature makes the most grating, annoying, grinding sound whenever turning the steering wheel. Which is about all the time.

 

fairly sure from looking at some other pictures that an tidy earth with a large bullet head is inserted there.... just need to make one...


seems to be a black wire here.

 

or ... wiat....


this one off the web....

 

Aden, mine is sort of purple/pink.
