The horn button on the 40 Tonner had a meltdown about 3 weeks ago. I finally got around to changing it out thanks to a Fordbarner who had a button similar to the original. The question is what could have caused this to happen? Usually I kill the ground by disconnecting it at the battery...

Why do some threads appear on my iPad in a miniaturized format? For example the thread on suicide doors takes up less than 1/2 the width of my iPad and is only readable if I expand the words using the iPad to expand the wording. All the rest of today's threads are full width and readable with...
