Wow ?!?

The horn is not loud, but does not shut up???
Everything works ok, except the horn ??

Check all the fuses, though it's doesn't sound like a fuse problem

Sounds like a wiring problem,
Horn is getting steady low current,
instead of strong sudden current, when used

I DUNNO ..
Best of luck though !

Sounds like the air horn drew to much current. I think you fried the horn part of the circuit. Put it back as best you can and take to the dealer and tell them it just started acting funny. More then likely to hole system going to start flaking. Next time use a relay.
