Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT RUSH HOUR APPROACHING TRAIN STATION. MANY PEOPLE WERE WALKING ALONG SIDEWALKS AND SOME IN THE STREET. I WENT TO USE MY HORN TO WARN THEM OF MY COMING AND IT FAILED TO WORK. ON THE WEEKEND I CRAWLED UNDER THE TRUCK TO REPLACE THE HORNS . I TOOK THEM OFF AND I TESTED THEM. THEY BOTH WORKED. I NOTICED THE MOUNTING AREA FOR THE HORN BRACKETS WERE CORRODED. I CLEANED THEM UP AND THEY WORKED AGAIN. THEN AFTER A DAY OR SO THE HORN STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. THE HORN WORKS SOMETIMES NOW BUT MOST OFTEN THEY DON'T. *NM
