I think age is a factor when it comes to a temperamental horn.
I'm dreading the day when my horn only works when it feels like it _________________ Alan

LOL to all of the above answers !!!!
But check your wiring with a multi meter, pay attention to your earth continuity, waggle the wires if all is sound replace the horn, they dont last forever.
Get some Dukes of Hazzard airhorns as a replacement, you'll never have trouble with your horn again !!! |

Its probably just a carppy connection, with rust etc, built up. Just get some emery cloth and give the area a rub down, inc the terminals and you should be fine.
No emery cloth, just use some W&D 800 or similar. |
