    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I got my horn fixed tonight it was either the horn button the rusty nut or the bad looking wire. My wife is really good at putting on those packard plugs.

    I changed the horn solenoid still no clunk or Horn. Pulled out the horn button being very careful not to deploy the airbag lol. The steering nut is all rusty I’m thinking a new nut and horn button might fix it if not I’ll get a hand held air horn.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Thanks for the reply I will pass the info on. I did try the headlight and blinker fluid. Now they work backwards must have been old fluid. Maybe it’s the canooter valve or the heinsberg modulator that’s causing my horn issue
