Horn?

[David.Ullrich at ferguson.com]

This seems weird to me. On my 1987 Coupe GT, in order to get the horn to blow you have to press in the horn button until the steering column collapses. Just pressing the horn button (center piece on wheel) doesn't do anything, neither does just collapsing the steering column, the two must be done together. Until recently the horn didn't work at all, all I heard was the relay clicking. I went under to car to discover than one of the two horns was disconnected. It has one plastic horn and one metal one. The plastic one was disconnected. Once connected it started working, but only if pressed in as described above. I have no idea if the metal horn is really doing anything, but the plastic one is plenty loud. Any thoughts? I'm trying to tidy up the last minute things before state inspection tomorrow. Wonder if it will pass like this? I know you can rig up a separate button somewhere on the dash and pass if your steering wheel button dies...
