Default Horns...

Well for the last few month... My horns have been fading away.. First passengers side yesterday driverside... Did the test determined the issues were the actual horns...so did some research on the site and read where someone recommended removing the current screw and spray in some penetrating oil.... So I figured why not give it a try... Pulled the screw and loaded it up with PB blaster.. Banged it around a bit... Let it sit for like an hr... Shook most of the oil out.. Put the screw back in and reinstalled..Horns are both working 100%..louder than I can remember.

Also want to thank who ever posted the oriinal recommendation regarding the penetrating oil. ( can't find the post again to thank the member personally)

My horns have also died. I will have to try this fix this weekend.

Thanks for the post.
