Electrical Problem

I have a 2001 Softtail Standard. I am having a problem with me tail light always going out and noe my horn is not working. I have checked the fuses and none are blown. I can replace the bulb and it works for a little while, but then goes out again. I have looked at the scamtic and the horn and light don't appear to be inter connected. Has anyone had simular problem or suggestions as to what to look for.

Thanks

RE: Electrical Problem

You can do a check to see if it is a bad ground by using a piece of wire and connect one end to the NEG of the battery and touching the other end to the horn or light base to see if it works then. If it does work then ,you have a bad ground in that system. Then comes the fun of finding it.
