2006 Montauk 170 Horn, Navigation Lights
Posted: Wed Apr 27, 2016 10:40 pm
I put my 2006 Montauk 170r to bed last fall with no known [problems]. On the season opening run earlier this month the horn would not work. Upon investigation I found:
--the navigation lights are also not working reliably but will occasionally turn on without clear indication of cause for failure, that is, I can't wiggle a wire and get the lights on;
--the compass lamp also gets power on the same circuit as the navigation lighting switch, and it illuminates every time the switch is toggled. This leads me to rule out power to the switch and the switch itself;
--the horn is not working at all.
My hypothesis is that the horn has a defect that is the cause. Or, that a harness is lose.
Any thoughts?
