I pulled it off the car and chipped the shellac off the screw. It eventually worked directly off the battery but still not very loud. By this time it was 2100 hrs and it didn't seem wise to keep blowing the horn.

Did that, got medieval with some wire wool. One side of the horn ring works, one doesn't! It's about 10-11 volts at the horn. The wire always being hot confused me for a while.
