    Obviously check if it's the horn that's buggered or not, in my experience they are generally crappy units. Take it off and hook it up to a battery. Otherwise, spray some switch cleaner in the switch and then start checking wires, fuses ect.

    ASK Dot, she'll know.

    Sometimes horns can be fixed by spraying some lube into the front, then holding the button down and lightly tapping the horn with a hammer.

    Another fix (assuming it's getting power) is to loosen the small locknut on the back and very slightly readjust the screw less than 1/2 turn one way or the other.

    I was just in your neck of the woods a couple weeks ago. How come you didn't invite me over for a pint? Welcome to the forum. Good luck with the horn. I know mine works cause I hit it by accident at 04:00 going to work this morning, out in my driveway.
