Twitchy Horn

[Warren99]

I got the stuff and changed from a two spoke wheel to the 3 spoke I got from a cherokee. When u press the horn button, it twitches from on to off constantly, rarely staying on for more than a second unless u move it around and hold it still just right. At first I realized I had the diaphram thing in backwards, but after I switched it still had the same issue. I have used a wire brush and sand paper and had no noticeable difference. Also, I think rotating the wheel has an effect on whether then horn is on or not, but I don't remember the details of that. Is this a common issue?

Simple how the horn works is the horn activates via grounding out at the column. Ive had the same issue with a twitchy horn and it turned out that the turn signal switch's sprung copper rod was corroded and dirty. Cleaning that up resolved my issue but it helps to have as much clean as possible including the horn prongs and where they mount on the frame.

I'll probably check the copper rod thing. As of right now this isn't a big issue, I'm just waiting for time and I'm swapping in two new axles and making a rear driveshaft. Then I'll actually experiment with this.
