Horn problem: it is not the horn. It is not the horn rod. Appears to be the switch. Looks like a cheap repo. The spring on the underside seems weak. The contact does not come up into the bracket to make contact with the rod. Appears that the wire pushes downward out of the disc leaving the contact short.

Looks like quire a job to remove the harness and resolder to a new disc. I am a driver, not a purist. When I fix problems, I look for solutions for next time.

I do not want a secondary switch.

If the repos are that cheap, I am thinking wire splice or terminal box so it can be changed easily.

Comments? Suggestions?
