FIXES "NON-FUNCTIONING" HORNS: Genuine Bendix K034343 Horn Brush Kit. This is the spring-loaded contact assembly that sits inside the steering wheel hub. If your horn only works intermittently or not at all when pressed, this worn-out contact is usually the culprit.

PASS DOT INSPECTION: A non-working horn is an immediate "Out of Service" violation during DOT or School Bus inspections. Keep a spare kit in the shop to fix failed horns instantly before the bus route starts.

DIRECT REPLACEMENT: Replaces Bendix & other part numbers 10006555, 10015829, 0027315, and 2908-K034343.
