Has anyone experience the horns stop in wet weather or humid weather?

Has anyone experienced the electronic horns on their S Class just stop honking when the humidity is extremely high or it has been driven in the rain. I am experiencing intermittent horn issues myself. One minute they work and the next it sounds like only one is working and it sound like the road runner with laryngitis, then NOTHTING. I let it sit for a few days and finally they start to work again. Has anyone had this issue and if so what was it? I went to buy buy some online and notice they changed the horns in Oct of 14. They have changed them to normal horns, so I am thinking.

No, the horns themselves were defective. It has nothing to do with connections, fuses, grounds, water in the electrical system, it had to do with moisture that got into the horns. The early production S Class made before 11/14 were electronic and they went back to the standard horns. They replaced both horns, now everything is ok.
