Horn - How to replace it??

After much research (online), I find the horn on my 2000 SD is on the passenger side fender(top side). Well, how do I get to it? I need to replace mine as it has not worked in 10 years! Do I remove the panel itself? or can I get to it from fender well?
Any help is much appreciated.

I think the only real solution here is to add a train horn .

Not sure about a 2000, but on my 06 you have to remove the inner fender well. Not a difficult job but a little time consuming the first time.

That would be nice but I do not want to install a compressor etc.

You might also want to pick up a set of these trim & molding removal tools from Harbor Freight about $9.00. If I remember correctly there's a couple of those push in plastic jobs that also hold the inner fender in place.

Trim and Molding ? Discount Trim Tools ? Harbor Freight Tools

One other thought IF you haven't picked up your replacement horns yet. The HELLA 003399803 12V electric horns are supposed to be pretty Loud - I never cared for the wimpy sound of the factory horns in my 06. Unfortunately I didn't think about this until AFTER I had my inner fender well out & back in. The horns got pretty good reviews on Amazon. Just a thought.
