Horn sounds wrong

Post by white06lacrossecxs »

I went through a somewhat deep puddle in my lacrosse and now my horn sounds wrong. Sounds weaker than it should, this happened a few days ago and it still doesn't sound right. Have I borked my horn or is there something I can do to fix the problem?

Does it sound all high-pitched? One of them probably bit the dust, a new horn unit is cheap enough from Rock Auto, $25 or so. I don't know where precisely it is on your car tho, likely in the driver's side fender area.

try removing the horn and honking it holding it upside down and move it around. you probably have water in it. I have seen that at my work a few time, not sure how it gets up in there but if you went threw a big puddle and now it sounds messed up, she is probably got a little water stuck inside.
