This is probably a Stupid question:

I have a 1982 Sport Coupe. Where is the Horn Physically Located? If you can't tell me that, can you tell me how to identify the wire? I have just replaced my Steering Column and i tried out the Adapter kit that i bought to put on the wheel and have a working horn. When i put the hardware on and touch the lead to the adapter block, i hear an electrical Click. That means that the circuit has been completed, but what i should hear instead is the Horn. What should i look for next?

BTW, does the 1982 have a computer AT ALL? Hopefully the answer is no.

The actual horn is in front of the driver side wheel, in the fender. There may be two in tandem, my 89 has two. Should be a single green wire going to each.

Thank you........ Looked at your Avatar. I guess you're a Bubble Head. I did my time on a Tender. It was Orion AS-18, but that was a VERY long time ago.

I went outside and found it!! thanks! Someone connected a YELLOW wire to it and it goes through the firewall and ends without being attached to ANYTHING in the car. Now, I need to know what wire on the Column to connect it to so that my horn will work on the steering wheel.

yes it has a computer, the carb is computer controled, it has a map sensor, a throttle position sensor etc etc

also if its the stock 3 speed auto its a th200c not a th350, unless someone did a conversion .... i got a th200c that works laying around

Looks like a 700r4 to me, but I'm no expert. The Carb is aftermarket. It's an Edelbrock 600CFM. This car has been hacked, and Hacked, and hacked. When i found the horn, they had just wrapped the bare wire around the male connecter on the horn. I can't believe they didn't spend like $0.30 to crimp on a Female Connector.

No problem.

I used to be, I've been retired 10 years and have a civilian job now. Did 11 patrols on 3 boats (all SSBN) - Pulaski, Alabama, Ohio, as well as two years forward deployed on a bathymetric survey ship (T-AGS-38, USNS Hess) collecting data for submarine navigation.

the 700 is bigger than the 200 ....... easy way is 3 speed for 200 4 for 700

i thought the early thirds had th350's when i first started messing with em (10 years ago) ..... but then i looked under it said thats no th350 looked it up in my book and duh it was the 200c

if you got a edelbrock than its no longer c.c. ..... the computer may still be under the dash

you were on the Alabama ........... its in my back yard at battleship parkway, i love going out to walk around it and the Drum

Al Hasse

Not that Alabama The Navy has a habit of reusing names on their ships. The one I was on (SSBN 731) was the 4th with the name IIRC. The guys that rode those sewer pipes like the Drum had big brass ones.

alright, now all i have to do is locate the Horn Relay. If someone could tell me where and what to look for, i would be most appreciative.

It's done, The Horn works. Now, hopefully, it still works when i attach the Steering Wheel. It looks like it will though. I removed the External Horn Button that someone had installed. I can't believe how lazy some people can be. I would much rather have a Working horn on the wheel than some Gaudy Switch that's obviously out of place on the dash. Sheeez!
