Default Simple Horn Question! Please Help!!

Hey guys!
So, Just like many Chevys of this era, there are 2 horns. Both honk when you press the horn but only one honks when you lock your car. For me the horn that honks when you lock your car is dead but the other one works fine so I'm trying to figure out which on that is so I can replace it. Is it the one closest to me (in the picture) or the one closest to the front of the car?

I don't know which one does what you're saying.

( Not trying to be a wiseguy) You could always put some ear plugs in and crawl under the car. Using your key fob, lock the door and feel / hear which one activated.

I'm not sure either, but I would unplug one right at the horn, then test the horn. If it honks - then the other should be your broken horn. Quick way to eliminate one from the other.

My problem is I don't get a sound when I lock the doors (with lock horn on in DIC settings) so I don't know which one it is.

Thanks, I'll try this.
