Re: 6 volt battery

Horn and gauge issues are not likely due to the battery. Horn is probably a poor or intermittent contact between the wire and the large contact plate it pushes against or between the contact plate and the horn ring when the ring is pushed. A horn relay with dirty or failing contacts is also a possibility.

Battery feed terminal of the temp, oil and fuel gauges are connected together and fed directly with 6v volts from the same wire. If only the oil gauge is having a problem the most likely cause is a failing oil sender, sticking pressure relief valve in the oil pump or a bare spot in the wire between the sender and gauge that is intermittently touching ground.
