Un plug it and clean up the male terminal with sandpaper. The last time mine acted up, the male terminal was a little corroded. Cleaned it up , worked fine after that.

Put a meter on it and see if volts are making it to the horn when you push the horn button.
Insure horn is well grounded.
You know, the simple things...

Good advice. If horn is FUBAR, the newer offerings do seem better than the older stock. I have been through just a few HD horns.

Just read again this is on a 2010. Don't forget to check fuses. This is one of if not the most simple troubleshoot issues you will have so good luck!!!
