| Horn may or may not sound when button depressed. problem is random. i have inspected fuse, swapped horn relay with a known good unit of same amperage, and checked connection at the horn itself. button for horn in center of steering wheel is apparently the problem. horn sounds roughly half the time when button depressed. *nm | |||
