They should work directly off the battery yes. Try them on your car battery as a second check.

Are they fussy about polarity? Just a thought.

put a meter across the terminals on horns to see if coil has gone on them. if you have one

What thehut says.. check for continuity across the horn..

Try the adjuster screw on the back nearly every time that will do it . Stuff like horns are made in the 1000's so you do get duff ones some times but ive only ever had 1 set returned as 1 didn't work I adjusted the srew on the back and then it worked fine.

We found that the centre bolt that mounts the horn to the bracket was earthing it out so wrapped bracket in tape and yep works fine now  |
