Steering Column Ground

[Gary Lewis]

Well, if I didn't have several of the modules I might want to borrow that for Big Blue, who's speed control doesn't work.  But, that might have something to do with not having a vacuum diaphragm.  Would that have anything to do with it?

The diaphragm is inside the servo, where the cruise throttle cable comes from.

I was calling the servo the vacuum diaphragm - and BB doesn't have one of those.  But, I have one or more in the attic.

Okay here's what I did to make it work. The rag joint has no bolts to connect the jumper wire to so I just hooked a small throttle return spring across the joint to complete the ground. Horn works fine now. Thanks for all your help.

[Gary Lewis]

Good idea!  I was expecting you to go from the rag joint to ground.  But instead you went across the rag joint and use the steering box as ground.  Right?

[ScubaSteve]

That is correct, I just jumped across the rubber part of the rag joint. Ill try to post a picture tomorrow.

[Gary Lewis]

That's an ingenious solution.  I'll have to remember that one.
