Two horns tweeter front right, and woofer left under headlight area accessible by removing front section of fender liner.

My horns were sounding a bit funky a while back and I traced it to the woofer's coroded connections.
A little cleaning and all was well.

First pic is with the front part of the fender liner pulled out and the second of the horn up close.

Why MB didn't just mount it near the tweeter is a real mystery to me.

I had that issue with corrosion and dirt on the woofer line, however it lead to a General Lee Dixie sound whenever I depressed the horn. Maybe a fail safe by MB?
