Re: Under Hood Lighting
 
Fully Vetted...as I understand it some put switches on the under hood lights for long openings to save the battery but many just reached down and pulled that ten amp fuse and put it in the center or glove box with spare fuses. I don't know what your unplugged connecters go to but you could start the engine, turn your lights on with them unclipped then turn your fog lights on then go in front and see if they are on. Alternately, you could with a volt ohmmeter see if there is voltage going through it with engine on and off. If you haven't open your fuse box and with a spade puller pull each one and see if they are okay and put them back. You may have a blown one. If there is one slot with no fuse in the box then find out in the manual what it is. Not unusual for some owners to rather than pay to fix minor things that break they just pulled the fuse and unclipped the wire. My 76 horns were not even connected and they didn't even know it, said the horn didn't work. Easy fix. Lastly, try tracing the wires back somewhere. I still don't know what all the relays, yada, yada are under there.

One thing which annoyed me was the horns sounded so wimpy and I know Corvette uses two horns from my 76, an A note and a C note which together sound okay. On the Z it sounded too quiet to me so I wondered if one was broken. Took a while but one day with the hood up I unplugged one then honked the horn and the other one worked, then unplugged the other and plugged the other one up and did the same, it worked. Then I honked with hood up and both sounds were there. Bottom line is I'd just like a louder horn than the factory did. They are easy to get to.

The connection to the horns is right there at each horn.

I haven't had it plugged in since I've owned it. I'll look in the FSM and see if I can figure it out.

Excellent, thanks for the great picture. I just don't have one in my car.
