Bad horn on 2000 Silverado... help

Bad horn on 2000 Silverado... help Group: alt.autos.4x4.chevy-trucks Date: Sat, Nov 1, 2003, 11:28pm From: snipped-for-privacy@no.no (~~AAJakeleg) I've seen this on quite a few new body style Chevy's. One of the (2 I guess) horns goes out leaving a very weak horn. Of course, I'm just out of my warranty. It seems like it'd be a connection/bad solder. Any recommendations on how to fix it? Thanks

You have two horns with two different pitches...One is a high octive the other a low octive......This is very common of a problem the only solution it to replace the bad horn....Which in this case is your high octive horn....Just stick your head under the hood ...Have someone blow the horn youll be able to tell which side its on when you hear the sound from the other side.....I think its the right side but not sure....

Do I have to buy this horn from the dealer? How much? Part number?

Also, I noticed that it kind of went out gradually, that is, it worked, worked a little less, worked occasionally, then quit altogether. Are you sure it's not some kind of electrical connection?

Those high note GM horns are notorious for failure, they've been asked about on many other forums. My high note went out on my 01 Tahoe, and

connection?

Muchas gracias.

After market horns are probably cheaper than OEM and will probably last longer too.
