Has the wire worn through? Mine did, didn't find out about it until I pressed the button and lost all power to the dash and lights as the fuse blew.
can't see any sign

My initial assumption when mine stopped working was that it was the horn itself .... but it wasn't.
I've still got the replacement one I bought but didn't need ..................

I found mine dangling by its wires at the weekend, the hanging bracked had sheared, still worked though.
I changed it for the one off the other Falco in the garage, and when I tried it the bike died

Must be a shorting wire some where, but didn't have time to look into it.
TBH I don't think I've used the horn apart from passing tests so no drama, just leave it alone.
me too

I had one rot from the inside out and one that was just corroded spade ends. Bought an Accumen louder jobby that is louder but still not loud enough.
The on my mates old Trumph stopped working when it fell off on the motorway and smashed into the front of my bike.

Get a flip-up helmet. Then you can shout more effectively

Or you could raise that staff and zap them with blinding white light.
