HI All,

Ok I'm at a loss on what's going on with my horn and fog lamp. I've searched and read all the forum threads and am still lost.

The clock spring is ok, the fuse is not blown, there is power in the stalk, the horn itself is not blown, the relay for both the horn and the fog lamp is clicking over...

The only thing that I can pinpoint right now is that there doesn't seem to be any power at either the horn side or the fog lamp side. Could there be either something loose in between or something causing high impedance?

Anyone else have any ideas or have experienced something similar?

Cheers

I am lead to believe there might be a general earth point for everything.

Hopefully someone might have the same issue, then again there's next weekend. Beer & BBQ my place again lol

same thing with me never fixed it lol but my horn issue is in my stearing some lose wires i can hear them when turning stearing wheel do not want to touch it because im scared of air bag going off lolz any ideas or places to goto lol and for fog lamps would like to know also

go to an auto electrician?

If you have a test light turn you fog lights on and check for power at the back of the light. if you dont have power its not an earth problem.

If you have someone there to help you can also have them hold the horn on and check for power at the horn.

just because you hear the realy clicking doesnt mean it is actually working. best way to check is to remove the relay and using the test light you should have 2 power sources with the lights on and one earth. Then if possible place the relay back in but not all the way and see if you can put your test light onto the terminal that didnt have power. if it has power the relay is working. if not probably faulty.

If you do have power coming out stat following the lool and look for a broken wire or a disconnected plug

what a kick up the arse!

Turns out Taff's relays were BOTH busted, what are the chances of that? Saying they both clicked over but didn't close the circuit hence no horn no foglight.

The moral of the story.. having the relay clicking over doesn't mean that it's still working.

Better to check and replace a dead relay for $5 than to trace and rip up the whole loom, take off everything and lots of confused swearing.

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
