Re: UPDATE..Please help if you can:Never thought a Horn could be so challenging

Hooray! I figured it out. Just in case anyone has the same issue in the future and finds this thread, here's what I had to do. From the pics I posted last night, I removed the three screws that hold the white turn signal switch and carefully pulled the wire clips from it using a tiny flat head screwdriver. This gave me enough room and access to the back side of the turn signal switch. I very carefully removed a small metal cap on the back of where my screwdriver is pointing to the brass boss that is spring loaded. I removed the small spring from insided the plastic hole and gently stretched it out....it's brittle so be very careful. Put it all back together and this increased spring allowed the brass thing to stick further out and make contact with the back brass ring think I'm holding in pic #2. I like having horns now just in case of emergency. Hope this threasd will help someone in the future. Thanks.
