My air horn is intermittent. When I tap on the solenoid it will work for a while then quit. I want to try to blow it out. Does anyone know how the brass fittings come out? The wire connector is in tight, I check it for corrosion and it is clean.

Thanks
Jim

Push in on the smaller air line, then hold down on the brass collar and pull out the line.

These solenoids seem to be a problem. After getting mine replaced the last time I make it a habit to give the horns a little toot every day. Seems to keep the condensation or whatever clear. No problems since.

Thank you Rich.

My wife does not like me to 'toot' my horn. (I love it)

Now I have a good reason to 'toot' every day.
