Both Horns Out
Took a long trip last week and half way through it I noticed I had no horn.
Tested and relay/fuse is good and get voltage at horn terminal.
I have both horns out right now and both of them read open circuit, anyone else had this happen?
Seems suspicious both of them would go bad (car has 25k miles, I don't honk much)...

Need some insight on the parts (I know they are just horns but they are $100 each), on the part numbers you listed:
222 542 1720 comes with the legend "... without S65, without electronic horn" (from online dealer I buy parts from)
222 540 6911 comes with the legend "... without S65, with electronic horn" (from online dealer I buy parts from)
Not sure why it says without S65, but also it is my understanding that cars either got both electronic horns or both traditional, is that not the case?
