    I had issues with my horns and did alot of work with them. I ended up using PB blaster sprayed into the tone ajustment hole and then putting the mounting bracket in a vise and hitting the horn with a rubber mallet, (not real nice hits) and then would test with a battery charger. Negative to mounting bracket and possitive to an electrical post. It took about of week of this before they broke lose and started to work. As I said, was not easy on the beating them around. Also use the mallet while it was charged with the battery charger, trying to get them to break loose. Good luck and let me know if you need anything else
