Consumer Description

HORN FUNCTIONS INTERMITTENTLY. WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD (NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING), HORN DOES NOT WORK. ISOLATED THE MALFUNCTION AND FOUND THAT THE STEERING SHAFT IS ONLY INTERMITTENTLY GROUNDED, AND THE HORN REQUIRES THAT GROUND IN ORDER TO FUNCTION. THE HORN (AND THE STEERING SHAFT GROUND) OPERATES PERFECTLY WHEN THE KEY IS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. IT APPEARS THAT SOMETHING IN THE IGNITION SWITCH IS CAUSING THE LOSS OF GROUND. THE FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. *TR
