The electrical contacts are prone to corrosion. Make sure there is good clean contact at the mounting bracket and the hot connectors.
It seems like it is always the low note that fails first.

There's a video on youtube about creating a horn with custom "honk" sounds and I think the materials are "cheap" less than $100 if you want to get really snazzy.

Looks interesting but no thanks. It'll be plenty to fix/replace.

The high and low note horns are in the right front wheel well. It is one unit with both horns hooked together. One of mine went. I got a pair of replacement horns and relocated them to the top crossbar of the radiator support behind the grill.

I ended up buying a new hi note, basically oem.
I think I like the idea of mounting them behind the grill.
Sometimes you can't have too much horn, may as well be loud and proud..
Thanks,
Mickey

Not to hijack the thread, but is the wimpy horn in any way related to the clockspring or airbag assembly?
Reason I ask is because I already put another used airbag assembly on a couple years ago because the first one was so incredibly sensitive on really cold days the horn would go off by itself sitting in the driveway from contracting. We're talking like one finger the way you would tap someone on the shoulder and you could honk the horn. The used one I put in started to get that sensitive too, then went to wimpy horn, now the last several days my clockspring must have went because no horn and no cruise control.

No, the pad is just a momentary on/off switch, it powers both horns or none. It could be the issue if no horns are working and you're not getting power to them. If you are getting power to them, then the issue is with the horns themselves.
