Horn question

Post by petroscf »

Well, here in Athens we sometimes need to use it!
Last evening I did. The sound came out a bit... I don't know how to describe this, tired? Sick? Not the horn I know of.
Might it just be a matter of rust? Does anyone think things might get better if I used some WD40 on it?

Probably poor contact on back of steering wheel. Five minute job to unbolt, remove and clean. Failing that, try spinning the fuse!

Will try that, although I does not sound like a contact issue, it works
But the sound that comes is like the spinning part is losing some spins, slows down for a sec
