Horn sings the blues
My horn wasn't working properly yesterday.
I hardly use it but just when I wanted to signal a stop,
there was only silence.
Stopped, I could hardly hear it, I could feel it on my leg.
Trying to avoid a warranty claim I got home and removed the horn.
I found the horn to be full of water.
Been at least 2 days from raining.
If you revolved it the water flowed out.
I blew it out and reinstalled cleaning and using the dielectric grease on the connections.
Works great.
I think I need a marine waterproof horn.

My stock horn went out after about a year, and was full of water.
Next horn was aftermarker, forget the brand name, and was loud. Was great until hit by a taxi and ripped it off. Went for a month without a horn and thought would not replace, but realized how much I missed the horn. Just never realize it until its missing, cause a lot of cars will merge into the same lane. Unfortunately, taxi didnt hear it so.
Replaced with the Wolo bad boy. Its really loud so hope it lasts for some time. I will cover it up when it goes for a wash as looks like its easy to trap water in it.
