Subject:horn problems

Hi all,

Have a problem with my horn.  I thought it was the mechanism (it
had been sitting for awhile) so got a new one from the dealer.  The
two wires get 12V between them when the horn is pressed.  When
attached to a dangling horn mechanism, they get close to 12V
(probably a matter of me not attaching the leads as good on the
meter) and sounds like a sick duck, but works.  When I put it in
place and tighten the nut holding it on, I only get about 6V across
and all you hear is a thunk.

What gives??  I'm trying to get it working by the time my failed
insp. expires so that I can pass and continue to drive legally.
