Consumer Description

THE HORN IS CONNECTED TO THE AIR BAG MODULE. IT CANNOT BLOW UNLESS PUSHED HARD. AFRAID AIR BAG WOULD DEPLOY IF POUNDED TOO HARD FOR HORN TO BLOW. POOR DESIGN. *AK AFTER POUNDING SEVERAL TIMES HORN WILL BLOW WITH ONLY SLIGHT PRESSURE. AFTER GOING THROUGH PUDDLES BELT SLIPS AND POWER STEERING QUITS, BATTERY DISCHARGES, POOR DESIGN WHICH ALLOWS FOR WATER TO SPLASH ON DRIVE BELTS. *MJS
