Make sure that the motor has power coming to it. If it does, then it's possible that the brushes are parked on a dead spot on the collectors. Take the cap off and spin the armature with your fingers, then try again. But before all this make sure the unit gets power; there are no disconnections, etc. Good luck.

I agree with John, See if you can take the top cap off and turn the motor by hand. Sometimes it needs a little help to get spinning again. If you find it getting stuck again, you may have to take the motor apart and clean the commutator.

Do not forget to add a small drop of oil now and then to keep the bearings happy.

Re: fiamm road master horn
What oil do you recommend?
Re: fiamm road master horn
The kind that comes in this bottle: Actually, any light weight oil like 3-in-one.
