So my horn has nonfunctional for a couple years. I decided to repair it and thought I'd share the fix.
1) Take off the horn cover. it will snap off with a tug.
2) Use a puller to remove the steering wheel. I used a cheap one from Harbor Freight.
3) Pull off all the plastic around the steering column and get to the Horn contact pin.
In this shot all the plastic is still on the column. After it's off you can axcess the pin. You will need to take apart the turn signal, lights part off the column. Not very tough.
Here is the back of the steering wheel were the pin needs to contact.
4) You can either find a new pin, have one made by a machine shop or add a big glob of solder it to the pin. I added solder and put a little grease on electrical grease on it.
5) Put everything back together. It's easiest if you mark where the steering wheel should be before you take it apart. I didn't and it took a few times to line it up correctly. The contact of the pin to the plate on the steering wheel will squeak for about a week.
It's pretty exciting to have a horn when it's been gone for a while.
