ABSTRACT:
A control circuit system for an automobile comprises a plurality of command switches (including an electric horn switch) all provided on a steering wheel. A control circuit is provided to generate a control signal in response to each command signal from the switches, and a signal coupling element is provided to connect the switches and the control circuit through a single signal line conventionally used for the electric horn switch. Operation of the automobile horn is enabled through a normally-closed relay even when a power switch connecting the automobile battery and the control circuit is open, thereby eliminating continuous drain on the automobile battery by a dormant but powered control circuit.
