effin horn

[Mattt]

Ive got an 01 2500HD with a bum horn. Only my drivers side horn is now working. The passenger side quit a while back. Ive tried all the tricks, smacking it, giving it a strong jolt of 12V, etc. I think its basically toast. I even took it apart, took the plastic horn part off the metal body of the horn and its rusted inside. When you shake it, you can hear pieces rattling around inside the metal part of the horn.

 

I called a Chevy dealer, and they quoted me somewhere around $70 for an effin horn!!!! Give me a break. Anyone know somewhere else to get these dual tone horns or how to fix mine? The tones are different from side to side I think.

 

Id really like to take care of this, but Chevy.......... (since the smiley face that flips the bird isnt there)

I'd give an auto wrecker a call and see how much it would cost for the pair. I'm sure you could get a better deal than buying new ones from the dealer .

To add insult to injury, that was $70 for one side, not both.

Try an autoparts place...like Pep Boys. They had them when my high note horn went...cost like $25 bucks there. The company that makes it is Flamm...they supply GM.
