Hi all, I haven't been in here for a while.

I'm a little confused with my horn, it does work but only quietly, I had tried a replacement horn itself but it sounds exactly the same and also cleaned the connector with WD40 but still no luck, what could it be?

    Either bad earth or not enough voltage getting to it. Make sure it's earthed to a clean piece of metal ie no rust

    FIXED IT!!!!! you're right it was an earthing problem, the supporting metal arm was corroded so I sanded this down and hey presto as good as new.
