Don,
   
  For horn button and traffacator service advice and assembly photos try Tracy 
Drummond's web site www.bighly.com.  Then click on trafficator.  There is 
another web sight that also has very good information and photos but I can't 
remember whose site is was.  Maybe Rick Neves  www.rickneves.com.  I think you 
should trouble shoot the wiring first before tearing apart the trafficator.  It 
does sound like you may have a couple of wire rubbing against each other.

  Hi, Listers,
On my way to conclave I had to make a hard stop and the horn blew. I have air 
horns, and a fault like this is obvious to all around. It got progressively 
worse and on Thurs. I disconnected the horn. Since it was very wet down there I 
didn't do much diagnosing. I cannot find evidence of a ground at the bottom of 
the steering column, nor at the horn itself. My next step is to attack the 
"horn blow" system on the column. Has anyone encountered the air horn relay 
being sensitive to decelleration? As soon as PANDORA gets home I will do more 
analysis. Is it correct that the "RING, horn push retaining " is pressed into 
the bakelight thingy and can be removed gingerly with a thin putty knife or 
such? By the way, our first Conclave was a blast. Hope we can do it again (if 
PANDORA ) cooperates.
TIA
