2011 gmc 1500 horn out

[gmctruck2018]

I bought my truck brand new at 30miles its a 2011 gmc crew cab gmc 1500 with the 5.3 when i push the lock buttom twice it barely makes a chirp, before that it used to make a loud sound so should i take it in or is there a more simple way of fixing it

Does the horn work otherwise?

[gmctruck2018]

you can barely here it when u push the horn inside the truck i had a 2000 chevy 1500 that did the same thing

Sounds like it might just be a defective horn. Warranty it.

[gmctruck2018]

ill check the fuse box first hopefully they wont keep the truck for more then a day i need a vehicle for work

[Zembonez]

I replaced my horn with a dual horn setup long ago. The wimpy OEM horn is not that great.

[gmctruck2018]

its not that big of a deal ive never used my horn just when i put the alarm on i noticed it

I would also recommend taking the vehicle in being that you are still under warranty. Feel free to keep me posted and contact me if you need any further assistance. Thank you.

ok will the dealer need to keep it for more then a day i have no idea how the warranty thing works and truck only has 5600 miles on it

[GMCustomerService]

hey may need to keep it overnight or longer. I would recommend contacting the dealer directly for more specific information. Would you like me to locate a dealer in your area?

would i get a rental car in the meantime and the problem would be gettin time off work im in the navy and its not easy to get time off to take my truck in and dont have time to take it after work

[GMCustomerService]

The dealer would be the best resource for this information as it would depend upon the situation. I would recommend giving them a call before visiting and explaining your situation as well as discussing possible option. Please feel free to keep me posted on your progress and how it goes with the dealer.

I haven't had this problem with the truck, and being that it's under warranty I would go that route if I were you. That said, I had something similar happen with my Infiniti G35 when I was forced to go through a bunch of standing water that pushed up into the horn. It sounded very muffled. I took the horn off and turned it around until the water came out, and it was good to go after that. It was probably close to a week that the water was up in there before I had a chance to work on it. Don't know if you might have had the same thing happen, but that's my only idea.

since u mentioned that it did rain all last weekend i just cant remember when it acted up
