  • horn slowly dying?

    anyone ever have a problem with the horn getting weaker and weaker as time goes on? mine seems to be getting really weak, still chirps but it doesn sound very loud like it used to, any after market replacements that have a nice tone?

          I think it would be an excellent opportunity to invest in one of those horns that the Shriners put on thier dune buggys. You know the ones that play the little tune: da-da....da-da-da-da--da-da-
          All kidding aside...I am sure that JC Whitney or someone has a killer replacement...something like....a cadillac Fleetwood...or a Towncar or something that would put the fear of God in someone in front of you daydreaming at the traffic light. Blessings [img]graemlins/wavey.gif[/img]

            my horn sounds like it's out of a jap car... it sounds like the same "meeeep" my friend's camry makes. like the road runner.

            i'm going to invest in a horn that plays the mexican hat dance.

              Screw that, get one that plays the theme of Dixie. ;)

                Mine just started working again. For the longest time it kind of had like a short thing where it would only go for half a second or so, and cut in and out, IF it worked in the first place. Now its working again. It sounds like a train, a deep truck "GET OUT OF MY WAY".

                  I noticed that mine changed with the weather...during the cold months it would chirp somewhat, and then during the summer it would chirp even worse...weird if you tell me. I remember when I first got the car it was a pretty good horn, but yeah I've had the same "problem" as time went by that the horn isn't so consistently cool.

                    You can get an air horn from JC Whitney. They also have several that play songs there if that is your thing (including Dixie).

                    I bought a 134 dB air horn from them and I like it...nothing wrong with my stock horn, just wanted something louder :)
