Craig I tried the wd40 and it helped some, Im going try to hit with a hammer, one way or another it will be done! I have the horns out of the car now, can I just try to power them up with a car battery, or is that too much?

Not kill you but surprise you. 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie, 73 Cuda Previous mopars: 62 Valiant, 65 Fury III, 68 Fury III, 72 Satellite, 74 Satellite, 89 Acclaim, 98 Caravan, 2003 Durango Only previous Non-Mopar: Schwinn Tornado
