I had same problem on both my horns. Fortunately, I had some spare bits of loom from Goldie, so I just used those.

PM one of the breakers here for a short length of loom to solder/heatshrink on.  Same for washer stuff :y

Yeah, it corrodes right next to plug. So I got plugs, complete with 3" of loom, from a breaker, and soldered and heatshrunk them on in place of the existing plugs...
