    89 40hp johson vro

    Got an issue with my hot horn. I put a new control box on, and everything was working properly. Last weekend, went to the lake, and on one of my runs hot horn went off. I Immediately shut the motor down and checked for debris around intake. Started motor back up, and still got the horn. Pulled cowling off with motor running, and block was warm, but without a doubt not hot. Went ahead and ran to next spot. After fishing approx. 45 min. moved to next location. Hot horn came on for about 15 seconds, then shut off, and never came on again the rest of the day. Today, I turned the key on, and the hot horn alarm will not shut off. The motor hasn't even been running. Is this an indication that I have a short somewhere in my tan wire? I pulled t-stat, and there was some debris, so I cleaned all debris out. Why is my alarm going off??? Also, before new control box, never had an issue, of course i'm sure the original owner could have disconnected the horn. Anyway, need this issue resolved asap, got tourney tomorrow, and two this weekend. Thanks, Josh
