The horn situation is probably not related. One of the wear modes of the horn contact ring is the production of fine brass "threads" which protrude from the contact ring and make occasional contact, usually when the wheel is turned to one position or another. Karl Wolz

OK, I'm still banging my head against this wiper/horn thing and though I thought I had it resolved. I do not. Not only did changing out the ignition switch for a new one, the end result was....Nada. They still don't work but intermittently, AND to add woe to worry, now the heater fans do not work. They too follow the same intermittent pattern. With the new switch, jiggling it doesn't work. Not only that, the horn blows when I turn the steering wheel. HELP! Thanks, John -- John Rodgers Clayartist and Moldmaker 88'GL VW Bus Driver Chelsea, AL Http://www.moldhaus.com
