Dept of minor things...but that ARE needed for state inspections.... T-3 horn barely beeping today. Turned out to be probably a loose or dirty connection. Works fine now after just messing around with plugging and unplugging wires a few times. BUT...in the meantime, I tried two spare horns that worked when they were salvaged...but they didn't work at all today. What good is saving parts if they die in storage? Is it just dust and dirt? Did some component dry up? Do they need a whack with a stout stick? If I knew how horns worked, maybe I could figure out if the spares should be sprayed with something, or soaked in something, or taken apart and cleaned...or what. ...and then stored in nice tight plastic bags. Related: What can be done when the steering wheel cover for the horn connection pops loose from one or more of the four plastic-to-plastic couplings? Yes...one might find used or spare plug thingies if they get chipped or melted...the ones that are bolted to the metal...but there's no way that I can see to repair the plastic holes that receive those plugs in the steering wheel center cover pieces. Duct tape around the steering wheel is not an attractive option. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
