About Vern Bullock
Expertise
Visit my website at: http://www.classytransportation.com/
I can answer most questions about autos built in the 60's 70's and 80's. Specifically, Lincolns, Rolls Royces and the Excaliburs. Mechanical issues and technical questions are my expertise. I also have a general knowledge of most older automobiles.
Keep in mind, I can only provide answers if the questions are very specific and complete. Without details, I can only speculate and that's not good for solving your problem.
Experience
I have owned and maintained Silver Shadows for over 10 years now. I find most mechanics and even Rolls Royce mechanics have very little knowledge about these automobiles. I have researched these cars in quite a bit of detail and can pretty much tell you what is wrong, if you can describe the behavior in detail. I have saved quite a few RR owners a lot of money and aggravation due to improper diagnosis. I am the owner of Classy Transportation, LLC a luxury limousine service specializing in antique cars, classic cars, vintage cars and exotic cars.

Expert: Vern Bullock - 11/4/2009
Question
I have a shadow II 1980, and the horn does not work. I have checked the fuse,it's OK, all the wires appear to be attached and the horn 'button' depresses fine. Any ideas what else to check?
In addition my panel light dimmer switch moves very smoothly but the lights go from pitch black to the minutest of tiny glows which isn't sufficient to even read the speedo at night. Any clue how to fix this? Thanks a bundle.
Answer
Hi Paul:
Horns don't normally go bad, but is can happen. However, if
all wires are connected, then you may have a bad contact at
the horn button. Sometimes dirt or just wear can cause the
contact under the button to be bad. Also, make sure the fuse
contacts are firm and clean.
