This will get you out of trouble until you find the problem.

If you put this part on your bike it will pass a MOT. NO Joke. The law states the vehicle must have a working horn.

SteveD CB500K0:
No joke indeed.

Exactly what I did one time in the 70's with my 500/4. MOT station was also a push-bike shop. Took one of those cheap horns off the shelf, bolted it onto the handlebars and passed MOT.

Bryanj:
You will probably find that the button contacts are corroded, try spraying WD40 into it and when pushing the button try and twist it a bit as well

Love it,
You should hear it, fitted one to my mother in laws electric chair scared the shit out of the French in the supermarkets.
Cheers
