The Ford Barn - View Single Post - using a 12 volt system with the 6 volt horn

The resistor I bought was from Mac's and "Restorer" was the name on the instructions supplied. I've seen it available from several different vendors. The horn is good and operates great using a 6v supply. I do have 12v (yellow wire) running to the resistor and the wire coming from the other side of the resistor going to the horn. The remaining wire (blue w/ white) is going through the horn button for ground, Checking it with a voltmeter, the voltage never drops when the horn button is pushed.
I was wondering if anyone had ever used one of there.
