He meant 70 dollars. They are trying to burn him for 70 not 10.

The horn contact pad is just a piece of foam that seperates the thin metal plate from the ground that completes the circuit. Just go to Wal-Mart and buy a peice of foam and glue it to the plate!

Let's see here, go to Wally world, buy $3 worth of foam, buy glue for what, $1.50? Go home take horn pad apart, clean old stuff out. Cut pieces to fit, glue in place, wait for glue to dry(did you buy glue that sticks to metal AND foam?) and re-assemble unit.
VS;
Go to dealer, buy part for ~$8.50 after tax, go home, reassemble unit, and you're done.

You can only be so cheap. There comes a fine line where it's not worth the hassle of rigging crap to work.
