Well, if I didn't have several of the modules I might want to borrow that for Big Blue, who's speed control doesn't work.  But, that might have something to do with not having a vacuum diaphragm.  Would that have anything to do with it?

The diaphragm is inside the servo, where the cruise throttle cable comes from.

I was calling the servo the vacuum diaphragm - and BB doesn't have one of those.  But, I have one or more in the attic.

Okay here's what I did to make it work. The rag joint has no bolts to connect the jumper wire to so I just hooked a small throttle return spring across the joint to complete the ground. Horn works fine now. Thanks for all your help.

Good idea!  I was expecting you to go from the rag joint to ground.  But instead you went across the rag joint and use the steering box as ground.  Right?

That's an ingenious solution.  I'll have to remember that one.
