"while your at it list"...hmmm.  This al started because I decided to change the brakes on the car. Then it went to, in order(and this really did start out as a while you're at it.):

New SS calipers, master cylinder and brake lines
replace all ball joints
bushings in "A" arms, lets take those out and powder coat them as well
beefier anti-sway
new springs and shocks
lets just say the whole front suspension was done...woohoo
can't leave the back alone lets redo the trailing arms
Brand new italian leather seats
matching dash
rugs
LETS REBUILD AN ENGINE
LETS BUY A NEW CRATE MOTOR INSTEAD!!
Dual exhaust anyone?
hmmm, how come some of this electrical stuff isn't working?
 
Been about 10 yrs I think.  Somewhere in there I finished up my wife's, now ex, 67 Camaro.  I still love working on it with my daughter and taking it out on the street, just to turn it around in the driveway.
 
It's this close to being road worthy.  I was hoping for the begining of June but now I'm hoping for early fall.

Here are the AIM pages for both the '81, and '82 horn locations....it's possible some '81s used the upcoming '82 location, but who knows....
btw..I think the reason for moving the horns out to the fenders on the '82 had to do with the new intake ducting for the Mis---er...Crossfire intake....

Finally got to the horns.  I had replaced everything on he steering column, the relay and the fuse.  Still nothing at the horns.  The nice thing is I can hear the relay click so at least i knew everything up to there was ok.  My big fear was taking the horns out, testing them and finding out they were ok.
 
I got in there to get the mounting/grounding bolts out without a problem.  I couldn't get the horns out without putting the headlights up.  Got them out and tested them and the don't work...luckily.  Yes, for the time I am going to assume that simply(LOL) replacing the horns will fix my horn problem.
 
I told my daugter I was going to order either the oooga horns or the ones that play the Dukes of Hazard theme.  She says "What are the Dukes of Hazard?"...I wanna shoot myself some times...Wink

Funny you should say that... The (living) Dukes cast are coming to a car show about an hour from my house today.

The "Incredible Hulk" Lou Ferrigno is also going to be there.  I asked the kids (15, 13, 10) if they wanted to go.  Same response as yours. 

We are officially old, now.

Oh, and I don't think Catherine Bach looks like she does in the link...  But then again, do any of us look like we did 29 years ago?

Well Dave...if ya REALLY wanna get noticed when ya hit the horn button, get ya one of these things. I put one on my Goldwing....it's fun scarin the crap outta idjits in the mornins that are too busy puttin makeup on, yackin/TEXTIN on da fone, or readin the friggin newspaper to pay attention to which lane(or other vehicle) they're plowin into...Censored
This will definitely wake their goofy butts up.....and so far, 90% have spilled their coffee....Evil Smile

Love the horn Joel!  I'd like one of those an octave lower - so they think a freaking ship is crawling up their butt.  I, like you, have no patience for "drivers" that do everything but drive when they're behind the wheel.

Dave - glad to hear you're getting your horn issues squared away...mine is in the steering wheel.  Rebuilt that thing twice now & it STILL only works when it wants to LOL  Hope you get to come to Carlisle - looking forward to meeting you!
