Before I go completely.... Please help

I am wiring up my new LI S3 build, Beedspeed loom,12v, Carello headlight.... Headlight, pilot, speedo bulbs all work as they should, rear light and brake light work also.....But the horn is constantly on when switch touches the housing I've tried a new casa switch and a new horn and a regulator and gone through the wiring a dozen times, but can't get the horn to work correctly.

What am I missing?

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

What kind of switch is yours? The metalic one with a trapezoid shape?

Ok. In this sistem the switch earths the horn when you press the horn switch. There is a metalic piece underneath the metalic cover that touches a contact when you press the horn switch. Remove this cover and leave the rest of the switch mechanism in its place and see what happens.

Cheers pepot.... Fingers crossed I may have sorted it.... It's on a scootsrs disc support and the switch is not a good fit, really tight and out of line with the screws... I think the contacts were getting crushed making a circuit and keeping the horn on.

Keep an eye out for me as I might be back if I am wrong...lol

Thanks again for ya help.... Ride safe

Ok. Then is this for sure. If everything is fine without the metalic cover you'll be sure at a 100%. Cheers!
