Horn Problem
My left side horn button is working, and my right button is not. Can the button be removed to check the contacts? If so how? Is there a thread about this. I have not been able to find one. Hoping I don't have to deal with airbag removal.
Thanks

My horn is working fine after following this procedure posted by (pi5tolpete) on Pelican.
with a small flathead screwdriver, you can lift the edge of the button and remove it. Under, you will notice that there is a copper metal piece with a bend to it. It works by pressing the horn button, which flattens the copper metal, and contacting the two electrical contacts to sound the horn. I found that mine was not centered in the holder (had slipped out) so I repositioned and reassembled. Works fine now. Be careful as you reassemble as the "snap" together usually dislodges the spring metal and you need to perform all over again. Perhaps some di-electric grease would hold it in place.
