Horn not working!!!!

Okay, the other day it was pouring down rain really hard and when I got out of the car and locked in from the keyless entry, the honk sounded really odd and quiet. So I checked it out and pressed the horn and stuff and it sounds very very quiet and not quite right.

When I cleared my headlights a while back, I installed a new horn (FIAMM Freeway Blaster). So I cant take it to honda, I kept my stock horn though.

Should I wire the stock horn back on whats going on??

Ive had the exact same problem, i think some water gets into the horn or what not, but regardless, mine always goes back to sounding the way it should eventually. i think it jsut dries out.

So this is a common problem??? Can I take it back to Pep Boys (where I got it) and have them replace it? They are dumbasses there anyways

Basically I just need to replace it though?

Yeah, just take it back to pep boys.

Not a common problem though. My trumpet was facing somewhat up so water easily accessed the interior parts.

Wow. Didnt realize that could happen. Good thing I have my trumpets pointing out to the side.

I've had 2 freeway blasters, and both stopped working, now it works but it sounds like a dead goose... Maybe those horns are crap... I want something LOUD, any ideas, besides air horns?

today i had a problem with my high horn which is in the passanger side but nothing wrong with my low. I just honked a few times and it worked again haha. I'll probably put a screen over the openings of the horns to keep water from getting in to easy.
