Default Help - horn not working

2005 FATBOY. Horn would work every now and then. It would kind of fade away. What can it be. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Check the front motor mount bolt. This is where the horn grounds. Left side of the bike on top of the front cylinder just under the tank.

I went through a big puddle on the highway one time and it splashed water all up in my bid-ness. After that I noticed my horn sounded really weak. I pulled the horn off and looked at it and when I turned it over a bunch of brown water poured out. Then it worked good as new!
