HORN OPERATION
PURPOSE
On some affected vehicles, the horn may sound without pressing the horn button, or continue to sound after releasing the horn button, or the horn could
become inoperative. These conditions are due to the contacts in the horn switch intermittently closing. If the horn sounds continuously, the internal
windings in the horn can be damaged.

PROCEDURE

Confirm whether the horn operates properly. Refer to Group 54A in the Galant service manual for diagnosis procedures. If the horn is faulty,
