Okay, here's a strange one!


Me thinks I was a bit over zealous in washing the salt and sand from underneath my truck the other day and sprayed water up inside my horns, they sound pretty sick right now!


I'm wondering if anyone's ever heard of something like this and have any advice?

I was thinking of taking them out, shaking the water out of them and putting ontop of the heat vents in the house to dry them out, but from looking at it I think I'd have to take out the driver's inner fender to get access to the bolt that holds them in.

Right now I have a trouble light with a 100 watt bulb aimed at them trying to dry them, any advice?

dont use your horn. ....I dont even know if mine works. I probobly havent used my horn more than once or twice on each vehicle Ive ever owned.

I don't use it much while driving, it beeps every time I lock the doors though!

Mine did that a couple years ago. Had the dealer replace them under warranty.

I got mud and water in mine and they eventually stopped working. I would try to get the water out asap.

get a pair of loud horns from PepBoys, etc. turn them up even more crank 'em till they start to break up then bring it back down a hair. they're pretty dang loud for a regular old horn

cjperry

Are they louder than stock? Do they sound ok or do they have a high pitch?

Forget the factory toyota sounding horns these things have on them, get you a REAL set of horns from here........

wd 40 in the horn opening, will help dry the horns out, then shoot a little silicone spray in, to keep em working smooth

Forrest Nearing

you can get different notes... WAY louder than stock!!!!

Wet horns?!

I thought you were talking about cows in the rain or something.

Try just leaving them "on" till they are dry out.

Maybe you could hook a plastic hose to a compressor and fish it in there to blow out the water.

Mine just had the same thing happen sunday . My low tone horn quit working after washing it now the horn is higher pitched than my wifes jettas. Luckly I have 800mi before I am out of warranty....Off to the dealer I guess.

From experince with me and a friend drowning our jeeps into rivers and mud, they would sometimes get muted or not even work. Just keep using it everyonce in awhile and it will dry out. If you can hit with wd40 as mentioned above, do that.

One of mine did it a few months ago. So, also had them replace it under warrenty, and they repointed both of them in a different direction.
