I have a 2020 Hyster S50FT that the horn will suddenly stop working. To make it work again you can simply remove the negative battery for a split second and it will work again. Eventually it goes out again and you must repeat the process. I have verified a 12 VDC to the red wire, a ground to the black and a negative on the white when the button is pushed. As I understand the negative for the button goes through the VSM. There are no horn codes when the horn stops. I am wondering if the VSM could be faulty and removing the negative somehow resets the VSM?

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
