    Thinking possible bad ground or relay. Took horn switch apart & cleaned. No help. Fuses are all OK. Maybe sending unit on thermostat? Open to suggestions. One wiring diagram I looked at has horn & Fan in same curcuit.

    i would try and follow the wires in that circuit front and back looking for any thing out of the ordinary, if you have a meter i would ohm check the circuit, from the fuse to the component you shouldnt have much more than .1 ohm

    pull the fuses to verify they are good, clean the connection, and di lectric grease them. See if that helps

    Thanks for suggestions. Will do all of that as soon as it quits snowing. Don't have a indoor place to work on it. Have to wait for better weather. Just got a factory service manual today that I found on e-Bay, lucked out there!

    also, pull the connections apart and clean with electrical cleaner and di lectric grease them too. Use some light fine grit sand paper if you find corrosion. Trace the wires to verify that they are good all the way to the loom. It certainly sounds like a weird connection in the fuse 'box'/panel. I had similar issues with the starter fuse...I did what I mentioned and all is well. I went through the entire bike witha can of cleaner and dilectric grease and haven't had an issue since. that was 4 years ago. Of course maintenance on these bikes is always at the forefront. let us know how you made out.

    Snow? man, it's 60 here right now.
