Default 1972 Ford LTD - Seek Correct Audience

What is a newcomer to do if he owns a new (old) Ford, enthusiastic to find a Ford Forum, only to discover that not even once in the entire forum is his car, an LTD, ever mentioned? (I didn't bother searching "Brougham") So what do I do, where can I visit here, to get answers regarding my newly acquired 1972 Ford LTD Brougham. For starters, I can't locate the horn, or how it's even supposed to work. I'll post my problems more elaborately and with pictures later
- if only someone would direct me to where on this forum I can post my question.

Thank you.

I can help you maybe understand how the horn(s) are supposed to work.

Horns require a considerable amount of power to operate and that is provided by a horn relay that sends power directly to the horn(s) when energized.
When you depress the horn button/ring , it closes a ground circuit to operate the relay and when everything is right , the horn sounds. Pretty simple, huh?

Usually the horns , if nobody removed them, were located behind the grille under the hood latch.

You can continue posting in to the 'General' threads, or, you can post to Other Makes, Models (Past Ford Models) section.
