| Description of the problem | Harley davidson horn doesn't work. The horn was replaced at 1000 miles. Still doesn't work. It sounds like a wounded duck. Harley dealer says the horn is fine and that you must be running the engine at 2000 rpm for the horn to work. It worked fine when purchased. I say its a defect in manufacturing. If you need the horn you must be driving at 2000 rpm or better. Makes no sense. You must investigate this problem. Someone will get hurt. *nm |
