Hi All:
This was John Hertog's answer to the non-honking horn problem.  I  haven't 
tried it yet, but plan to.

Hi  George,

Here's my semi-easy fix :

1/procure a battery and a set  of good jumper cables.
2/remove horn from car.
3/ spray a healthy dose  of WD-40 into the mouth of the horn.
4/ slosh all around so that WD-40  finds it way into the center.  Suggest 
tuning shop radio to disco  music and then doing a John Travolta imitation 
while holding horn. Shake  it, baby !
5/ empty horn as best as possible. Do the John Travolta routine  backwards.
6/ clamp negative battery cable to body of horn securely. Attach  cables to 
battery. Point horn  away from car or any other cherished  object as WD-40 
may fly out of it. Now touch positive cable to terminal on  horn.   Honk ?
7/ If horn starts to honk, let it do so for some  few seconds, even if it 
means incurring the wrath of Ms. Nosybody, your  next door neighbor..   horn, 
however, may just "click" or groan  or make some definitely un-Moparlike 
noises . It may however free itself  up and start honking quite nicely.
8/ You may need to adjust the little  adjustment knob ...  need special 
socket so as not to damage  cosmetically; or, if you don't care, a pair of 
vise-grips will do the  trick (but leave marks) .

Usually, after a good soak in WD-40 and the  application of some good 
electrical current, the horn will start to honk;  sometimes one has to play 
with the adjuster...
