One last stupid question for today

Should the horn work with the ignition off?

I have the horn on the indicator stalk but it only works when the ignition is on and the power is going to the indicators. I cant find anything in the IVA manual (so you cant tell me the answer is in the quote )





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

hmm, i don't think it needs to. never needed to use the horn with the engine off, so i don't know how they normally work. in fact, mines broke anyway lol

don't think mine did either ^

brake lights used to work with ignition off, they don't anymore
don't think you can flash main beam with the ignition off anymore either

All tintops i have ever owned have had the horn work with ignition off but so has headlight flash. I cant find anything in the IVA manual to suggest this is a requirement (h/l flash isnt even needed!)
