So the other day i decided to honk my horn for the first time in about 2 years..... It used to work smashingly. It had that vintage, non intimidating VW bus horn sound i so love. Like an elderly mouse coughing on you. However, it no longer does. If i trigger it, you can hear it "click" and very, very faintly make noise. It cannot be heard at all with the engine on. I jumped the horn to a 12 battery, and it sounds as it should, and i took the horn button out of the steering wheel and jumped that but without any change..... Am i right to assume now that the horn ring is worn out? Or are there grounds somewhere i should be worried about? -Craig '85GL |
