I bought a 1931 Model A Rumble seat Coupe one week ago. The Aooga horn did not work. I followed the discussions on the Ford Barn Forum and now it works with 6 volts applied to the horn. The horn button does not activate the horn. I took the light switch off of the end on the steering column and then tried to remove the horn rod. It is too long. I disconnected the bolts to the steering drag link and removed the steering column support under the dash. I could get the horn rod out to within five inches but the top is in the way.

Next I remove the four tabs that hold the horn button to the end of the horn rod. Cleaned the pieces in the horn button and before I put it all back together I want to check the current or continuity of the horn button.

Is there a way to test the horn wire for continuity with the horn rod in the car? I can replace the wire but I don't want to if I don't need to. Any ideas?
