Unhappy Horn died

The horn apparently has stopped working

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.

I got mine from www.autobarn.com
Do a search on PIAA Hi/Lo.

There are two-horn sets for around $50.
115 db, IIRC
