    Hi all-horn suddenly quit over the winter. Fuse is ok, opened "blower" and it moves-no corrosion. Horn button works, as the relay makes a clicking noise. Is it the relay? If so, which one is the horn relay? VIN 4464. Suggestions most appreciated-Scot

    See if wires to compressor are on and not corroded. Had to clean 2 times in past 20 years. WD-40 and a little pinch of the push-on springs did the job. If relay clicks, horn button circuit is fine. A simple voltmeter test will find the problem. Just take off the belly panel between the front wheels and you can get at everything.

    As it turns out, the compressor was partially frozen up-got it loose and now compressor works. But there is a lot of Liquid Wrench in there and it sounds like a Schwinn! I think time and honking will improve it-thanks-Scot

    you can replace the compressor for less than $75.00. Fiamme still makes the same horn and compressor, just w/o the oil fill and now all silver color.
