I had the same trouble with mine till I replaced the entire unit with one
fromhttp://www.epfguzzi.com/. The horn/lights and turn signals work great
now.

came with the original horn, and the horn beeped weakly. I would fiddle
with cleaning the connections and then the horn adjustor nut to get it to
work, but it was an on again/off again thing. Sometimes it would work, and
sometimes it just squeaked or simply didn't sound at all. I shopped for a
replacement horn and, after trying two, I settled on a Fiamm as I recall.
It worked well and was pretty loud when I installed it over last winter.
When I took it to the NY Rally, I noticed that the horn would only sound
intermittently, and I would often have to massage the horn button to get it
to sound. Rode the bike this past weekend and the horn wouldn't work at
all. Removed the switchbox cover off the CEV switchgear and cleaned the
horn button contacts. It's a NOS switch (less than 2 years old), so it
doesn't have years of wear and doesn't see rain. Anyhow, upon re-assembly
it would make the horn beep weakly compared to the 130 decibels advertized,
and that it used to deliver. My question is......have others had nuisance
problems with horns on loopframes? Do you run a relay on your horn circuit,
and is that the solution? I would like to be able to get on my Eldo every
ride and know that my horn will work, and from the day I bought this bike, I
have never had that assurance from week to week. Any input would be
appreciated.
