Bad horn?
 

Hi all. I've read the threads pertaining to the "too sensitive" horn issue and the recommended fixes. However, my horn does something different. When pressed it gives a barely audible whimper of a honk, then doesn't work at all until the ignition is turned off and back on again. The fuse doesnt seem to be the issue. Just a bad horn?

Likely 2 bad horns. The small horns at Autozone fit right in. the bigger horns are too big for the volume where the horns are mounted.

Thanks! I'll check Autozone out.

Time for an upgrade. Plenty of room for a small compressor in the front trunk and an air horn to replace those tiny factory ones. It's time for people to think they're a freaking Mac truck behind them when you press the horn down!

Horns are not hard to replace, once you remove the front bumper cover. Good chance to clean radiators too. Porsche horns from Pelican Parts are not expensive. That's where I got mine when one of them crapped out While you're in there, you might as well replace both of them.

I highly recommend adding a small airhorn. I added one after I was cut off by a big rig, it makes a world of difference. If you add an air horn in addition to the OEM horns, you can keep the OEM horns for a quick 'beep beep' when someone is sitting at a green light.

Thinking about it, there was some soldering involved to move the stock connectors over to the Autozone horns, the Porsche ones from Pelican could be a better deal if you don't solder.
