I have a 2023 GTS 300 Super and my horn button is stuck. I can't use my horn. Any suggestions as to what I can do to fix it. It's under warranty but I'm 3 hours away from the dealership. I was told by Scooter West that the buttons on the left side would need to replaced as a unit-not individually. Anyone have any problems with that before? I would appreciate any suggestions.

WD-40 helps get stuff wet in a somewhat-slippery way for a short period, but then it virtually completely evaporates. Teflon spray is better if lubrication you seek.

Perfect for switchgear then.

WD40 is for water displacement. It's not a good lubricant and leaves a gummy residue when it dries. A dedicated contact cleaner like Caig DeoxIT is a better option.

I'd suggest a quick squirt from an electrical switch cleaner spray can.
