Yes, it does. The horns ground through the horn button and when the contac=
ts get old they don't carry enough current to work the horns. A quick fix =
is to wire up a relay.
Get a generic cube relay a your FLAPS. To wire up the relay connect one co=
il wire to the N/G wire and the other to the N/B wire from the steering col=
umn. Connect the N/B wire from the horns to the NO contact on the relay. =
Connect the COM contact on the relay to a good ground. It's a walk in the =
park.

I have power at the N/G bullets and connectors. When the N/G wires are atta=
