Don,
Lucas horns? Argh. I've noticed on many Triumphs that the low note
is the one that fails first. Gives your nice, polished, sporty Triumph a
bit of embarrasement at a light! ;-) Anyway, sometimes various things get
up in the horns, try spraying a little WD40 up there. Reconnect teh horn
and make sure no one's in front of it (the WD40 sprays out) and hit the
button again. If all else fails, teh horns in VB are fairly cheap and
probably worth looking into. Hope this helps.
Good Luck!
