Hi James,

I don't know if these photos will help or not.

Basically, when you push on the horn ring on the steering wheel the spring
loaded, copper colored disc shorts against the horn ring and completes the
path.  You might have a loose or broken wire causing an intermittent
problem.

Have Fun,
Joe Brown
