79 F150 Horn Problems

My horn works fine when the truck is running. (Still sounds weak, but works). But when the truck is off, and I press the horn button, it doesn't honk, it makes a really weak wants-to-honk sound. As if the ground is just barely touching somewhere. So how would I diagnose this problem? Is there contacts I need to clean?
BTW - It does not have cruise control (I wish it did!)

Just remove it and clean it up

There is an adjustment on it that may need moving.

My best suggestion though.....is to get some horns from a Lincoln or Buick and mount them on your truck.

Oh don't you worry about that...I have dual hadley horns going on when I put my OBA in. I have a couple of 12V solenoid switches so I can use the button on the stearing wheel.

Also, I was reading some other posts from a search I did. Would the ground wire by the rag joint cause my problem?

Thanks Mil1ion
