horn

[Rich_172]

Fitted a new omp steering wheel to the 172 a couple of weeks ago. Wired the horn up and its been fine. Pressed it 2day and it sparked on the steering wheel. Horn now not working. Fuses are fine but theres no power to the horn wires. Does this mean the rotary switch is fucked and needs changing?
