So, my horn works, sometimes. It seems like I have to press it, and then it 'warms up' to working.
Anyone know if this is more likely to be in the button/headset or the horn itself? I use it frequently.

Probably the button. This has come up before.
If I remember correctly, it was a scoot that spent a lot of time in the rain and there was a bunch of corrosion on the contacts. I think you can take the button apart, clean it, and then spray some anti-water dielectric lube in there (CRC 2-24) and be honking in no time.
You can easily test the horn itself with ear protection and a set of jumper cables or gator clips.
