Just closed the hood after diagnosing/cleaning/repairing the horn circuit for a couple hours. I removed the steering wheel, cleaned the slip-ring, and re-applied contact grease to the entire area to eliminate a slight squeak I had from time to time. I also filled up the spring-loaded contacts with electrical grease while I was that deep in to it. I tested the horn buttons to see if they had continuity and activated properly. All was good. Turns out the horn was blown. It sqwonked at best, but very intermittently while testing, and never once worked by pushing the buttons on the steering wheel. After that, I pulled a horn off one of my parts trucks, tested it to verify it was good, cleaned it up, and painted the bracket. I'll get it installed tomorrow. The horn has never worked since I got the truck, so it'll be nice not having to rev the V8 to say "hey" to people I know. GB :)
