Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Horn problem: Eureka, it was the button.

[BRITT ROTHMAN (britt2asa]

You can cut that wire, strip it back a little, and solder it together. Make 
sure you put some heat shrink on before you joint the two halves. And buy a new 
button. For 37 pounds it’s worth it….. if you need help with shipping I’ll be 
in the USA in Sept and can post to you from there ( if you can’t get it sent to 
you directly)…
