Re: 94 OMC Turbojet 115 hp - alarm causes
Right, total of two cylinder heads and two temp switches. If disconnecting the tan wires results in no change, the tan wire is shorted or the horn is bad.
BTW, the temp switches are one thing OMC got right - they hardly ever fail.
Unless you install temperature gauges, you really must have working temp switches and a working horn.
The horn is supposed to give a short test beep when you first turn the key to run.
After that it should stay silent. If you disconnect the tan wire from the horn and the horn goes quiet, its the wire. If you disconnect the tan wire and the horn keeps going, replace the horn.
Edit: before replacing the horn, make sure that the horn is wired correctly: There should be a plus on the horn case next to one of the spade connectors that should be connected to a purple positive wire off your ignition switch. The other spade connector should be connected to the tan wire. The odd wire that runs from within the potting connects to the small black ground M on the ignition switch.
