[Tigers] Horn issue

[Theo Smit]

There is a cross-section diagram in the workshop manual that illustrates how all the steering hub parts go together but I'm not sure if that will help you. 
Easiest thing to do is to remove the steering column cowl pieces, that should be four slot screws, and then you can visually inspect the horn ring and the slider button. If required you can remove the slider by undoing the turn signal switch mounting from the column. 
It may be that you just need to clean up the contact ring; or else to clean the contact ring in the hub, that is actuated by pressing the horn ring on the steering wheel. 
Disassembly of the hub is not hard but take some pictures so you know how all the various pieces stack up.
