[MR2] MKII Horn

[waynearndt at waynearndt.com]

Thanks everyone, I'm getting some great feedback! I haven't had a
chance to check the horn contacts yet, I was just wondering if this was
a common issue I should be aware of so I had more ideas of what to check
when I get to it. I just might have to add one of those other horns
anyway because the few times I've used it when it did work, the person
didn't hear it anyway.

press the horn nothing happens, if I push and beat on it numerous times
it will start working about 3 minutes after it's too late to need it.
After I get it to sound off the first time it usually continues to work
but not always and not 100%. Are there any known contacts or something I
should be looking at? This is a 1991 MKII Turbo. Thanks!
