Default Horn

Has anyone with a S/C car figured out the fix to this yet? Tired of my car sounding like a muppet every time I lock the car or try to honk someone thats looking to run me over.

Make sure the two horns are touching absolutely nothing but the bracket they are mounted to and make sure that you have good solid grounds.

The SC shouldn't have anything to do with the horn not working properly.

Horns usually have to be relocated during a supercharger install.

I had to relocate mine but that didn't change the sound. There is some other problem. Maybe a loose connector or a bad horn.

As mentioned in post #2 above, make sure the horns are touching nothing but the bracket they are attached to when you relocate them and that the relocated mount has a good ground to chassis.

If the new bracket is coated grind off the coating where it mounts on both ends...
