Thanks guys - one button not working. Removed button and removed curved contact. Sprayed with Deoxit 100 and reassembled and the horn works again.

One more pic of the screws and contacts, for completeness sake, in this old post:

Thanks for bringing this back up! My horn randomly honks when turning, perfect timing, I pulled the fuse as people were continually flipping me off because they thought I was honking at them for no apparent reason.

That may indicate either a worn horn ring or failed steering shaft bearings.

If you can move the steering wheel slightly when pulling up, down, left, right, then it is the latter.

Thanks, wheel is solid. I can hear something rattling around when I turn so pretty sure it's the contacts under the buttons.
