check the "horn contact" which is directly under the cap of the middle of the steering wheel, it just prys off (carefully!). See that it makes contact with the other parts under it. I have dissassembled mine before its not that hard. Buy a steering wheel puller from Supacheap, I dont think they cost much and is always handy for use if you need it later. Basically it pulls the nut away from the column. then its easy to look and check all the contacts down further in the column. Just remember the order it came off! Like the others said also, see if a electrician can pin point the problem to see if the problem could be else where. Check the actual horn, a wire may not be contacting?

I have already dont that andy...took it off and all the parts were inside it but do u know whther it is making contact assuming the part that ur were mentioning it...( i pushed it all the way with a needle and still nothing happened!!!
69 DIRTY RAT:
Its possible that a part maybe in the wrong place???? they tend to look a bit similar or one is upsidedown???
So you checked the actual horn? allwires conected?
I forget now which bits actually contact inside there, I think its that L shaped thing on the thing on the left/top of the picture? It touches another ring to make contact?
