Subject:horn doesn't beep when running straight ahead
From:Paul Henderson

Hello All,

My faithful '84 Vanagon has a dangerous habit. The horn does not work
when the steering wheel is centered, like when going straight down a
road, but when it is turned around 30 degrees, it starts to work
again.

I traced the horn button ground wires down the steering column, and
they seem to end at a 13mm bolt holding the column to a steering
gearbox. What I can't figure is how the ground is actually being
completed.

Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul
