Hey TDR, You'll like this one.

So last night I left my favorite watering hole to drive a friend home. Some guy cuts me off and so I react by laying on the Air horn. Well it's about 10 degrees last night and getting colder well. the darn thing stayed on.

Had to pull over and try to remember which wire to pull to disconnect the Air compressor which was running constantly because of the horn being on. It was the only way to shut the horn down.

I finally get it disconnected and look over to see my friend laughing

his ***** off.

Glad he thought it was funny.

Pretty embarrassing.

Anyone know how to get water vapor out of an air horn system? It's the only thing I reason I could think that would get the solenoid stuck open.
