How to test a vintage automotive relay. The horn relay in my 1948 Plymouth was not working properly (I wired it wrong). To test it, I perform the operation in the video. Hope this helps!! The relay you see is an AutoLite ( Auto-Lite) HRL 4101
Man thanks I was questioning my own horn relay when the horn cut out
Just binge watched your Plymouth videos excited for a floor boards/ interior!!
You’re the man! Great tip.
Now I need a classic Plymouth to apply this to:-0)
At some point prior to December '48 they had moved the horn relay to the driver side inner fender, just below the starter solenoid.
Much harder to get to.
Awesome build man!!! Keep it up!
Great video! I have a 1950 Coronet. The horn will blow randomly. It has gotten so bad I have just disconnected the horn. Is this the sign of a bad relay?
Thanks for doing that for the young guns...
Now show a single and double relay circuits, and explain the safety behind them...
I’d need somebody to explain it to me!!!
Ok great now I know my relay works how come no horn? Did the same thing on my 54 Chevrolet but all i get is clicking....bad ground also the horns im using are off a 55 12 volt system , will they work or not enough juice? Thanks!
👌👍👍
Hello my friend I have problem with my 1950 dodge meadowbrook it don’t retain charge on the generator I repaired 3 times still the same. Anyway you can help me out I can pay for it
Can you just not use a modern 12V relay? They do the same job for under $5?
Great old effect video too. Love from Scotland 5* :D
If he changed the entire electrical system to 12 volt, then yes you can use a 12 volt relay. He is keeping it stock, which would be a 6 volt system.
Windings on the coil is the issue here, 6 volt would have fewer windings (less resistance). so a 12v relay when 6v is applies wouldn't have the strength to magnetise the armature.
My horn relay clicks and i thought it was broken because my horn still doesn’t beep. im gonma assume my relay is good as it makes the same as yours but my horn still doesnt work. Looking for some advice
More than likely it's your ground.
So what if the horns just making a gurgling noise instead of the usual honk
(Laughing in capitolism) Id just buy a new one
this does not prove in any mannber that it really works, you would need to do a load test on the switching side too which you failed to do, clicking does not mean it work, in conclusion this test is a total fail
Oh. My bad
PS: it works.
@@partsandresto He is correct the clicking does not ensure it is good. That is the first stage in testing the relay. Applying a load such as a test light would ensure its activation was working properly. I have had numerous relays that clicked and still did not work. As a matter of fact I have one right now on my 68 GTX horn relay clicks but no power out.
Is this the same method for a 5 pin relay part # 5969007. 12v?
