Default Horn isn't working on time!

The horn on my 86 coupe has a "late blow". When I plug it in and press the horn button on the steering wheel it doesn't go until about ten seconds after being pushed. It still has agood pitch though. Any help?? TIA.

'lazy relay', replace it. In the meantime just plan ahead for when you want to blow the horn.
