Question My Horn is dead!

Im not a big fan of using my horn, but sometimes it is just required to grab another driver's attention... and i ran into one of those situations only to discover that my horn didnt work....

I already did a search on the word "Horn", but I couldnt seem to find anyone with a dead horn for the w203. I saw someone saying that they had found a good replacement horn, but this person drives an ML. Link below:

Anyone know what I need to do to get the thing to work again?? Or if that horn above would work for the w203?

Thanks!

horn - honk - beep - maybe these words will help future searchers

I had the same problem...did many searches and followed the suggestions i found..."check the fuse!"

Damn if that wasn't the problem. Fuse was blown...check that first.

Exclamation

Ah, my fuse isnt dead. My horn is just super quiet. Im geussing this would be a good que to replace the thing. Anyone have any suggestions for a horn that would work well w/ the w203? or one that is more affordable than the PIAA ones that rubensans used?

Thanks, these forums are awesome
