Default I have sick horns.....

My horns don't work all the time, and when they do work they are weak sounding. I don't think it is the bottons on the steering wheel, cause the alarm doesn't sound either. Anyone know horns????? :confused:

One of mine died a while back, so I replaced both. You can get them at AutoZone. :thumbs:

I've never looked at how hard they are to remove. If it's easy enough you could try one of mine before you spend any money.

They are very easy to replace. I have replaced mine twice since I bought the car in 93. Mine are just about dead again. I already have 2 pairs of horns sitting on the shelf. Just need to find the 30 minutes to replace them.
:cheers:

I'd replace them with Hella Horns. They are about the same size as stock GM units...if not smaller, and they are priced at $50 - $70. The Hella Twin Supertone S-Tone Kit 85115, puts out 118db...they will get your attention. :cheers:

Mine sounds like a rolls royce, ferrari, MUSTANG horn or somethng like that, but I do believe it is caused by water getting in there
