It's possible...

...that one of your horns has failed. There are two horns, one "low tone" and one "high tone" and they both must be working in order to have a horn with "jump factor."

These horns fail all the time.

You have to remove the bumper cover to get to them, kind of a pain.

I just replaced both of my horns because both had failed.

Buy the OEM replacements from Pelican Parts. They are plug-and-play.

+1 on this.

It reads like one of your horns is out.

Just sayin'..........

I think your definitely on to something. It absolutely sounds like only one horn is firing. Being new to the Box, I didn't realize they had two horns. Sounds like a weekend project to check the horns and clean the radiators at the same time!
