Horn sounds weird...


Recommended Posts

Is there more than one horn on an 02 Silverado?? Mine sounds kinda anemic lately, but the fuse is fine. :D

How do you know which one is which and if its dead...other than sticking your ear next to it and blowing the horn. :D

Disconnect one and try the horn. If the horn sounds then you know the disconected one is bad. If the horn does not sound then the bad one is the one that is still connected. Are you confused enough now?

Just replace them with air horns!

 

 

 

 

:) I say get you four trumpts and put them in the fenders. Don't forget an air tank that will allow for a good 10 minute continuous blast!

 

Water is what usually kills a horn, I would just go buy replacements, they are fairly cheap. I would even go to JC Whitney and find something louder.

Had the same thing happen to my 01 Silverado last year before I traded it. Here's a link to the discussion and which horn is which. Really easy fix.

 

Vroten :)

Thanks for the help guys...it turned out to be the high-note horn on the passenger side. Luckily thats the easy one to get to, the other one is buried behind the washer fluid reservoir. Now my truck doesn't sound like a Civic... :)

I replaced mine...here is a picture of the Air Tank and Compressor.  Horns are behind the Bumper.

d**n that's big!! Must sound like an air raid! I have air horns that I picked up from JC Whitney...nothing major, just cheap chromies. I wired them to a separate switch so I could retain the factory horn, and put the switch in the middle of the dash so the passenger could have some fun too.

 

Here you can see the air horns and a little bit of the compressor:

The horn button is above the pass side air bag off switch (that's a skull and crossbones next to the air bag switch)

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
