Wires will have corroded and snapped on the connector. Very common
Done a 04 plate the other week, both wires corroded of the back of the plug.
Lucky I have new plugs spare in the tool box

Author: bezford, Location: darlingtonPosted: Sun Dec 23, 2012 4:55 pm ---- Whats all the fuss guys just take the wires off.clean the horn and the wires forks trim an inch or two from the wires making sure u get clean copper to clip to and its not too short then just crimp a new spade connector on each wire then click the wires back on the horn...it should take 5mins no more
But...if there isnt enuf wire length then add a few inches from an old peice of wire...TIP...put the spades on the extension wires before you extend the too short old wires...then to join the new and old wires strip both ends and slide them into a tube crimp with the bare copper tips wound together and the tube crimp crimped over the wires for a permanent repair....
Also spray the whole horn and near wiring with a water dispersant/water proofing electrical issolating spray but not wd40 as it causes corrosion and electrical staticing...
