The horn apparently has stopped working ![Frown](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
While I was doing the oil change today, I saw the horns on each side. I slightly touched the right side one and the fricken wire fell off!
It just literally fell off with a tiny touch.
So I'm guessing the horns are shot? How much does it cost to replace 'em and is it DIY?
thanks

I replaced mine with a pair of PIAAs. Took about 45 minutes after shearing off a bolt. Mine were completely rusted out. Fortunately the wires/clips were fine.
Did it with the ML at ground level (cut the wheels to get better access.)
IIRC, the PIAAs cost around $45.
Good luck.

Do a search on PIAA Hi/Lo.
There are two-horn sets for around $50.
115 db, IIRC
