Default Think I blew out my horn

Well Italy won the world cup today and me being italian I went parading around with my friends and i was blowing my horn for at least 45 mins then it just stopped so im guessing i blew the fuse maybe or something? do i need a new horn or do i just need to replace the fuse?

thank you

If it just stopped, then most likely a fuse. The car actually has 3 or 4 horns that all sound off simultaneously. If you blew one of them out, the pitch of the horn would change noticably.

LOL, I was searching for a "blown horn" post for my RX330, and found yours. I'm Italian from Montreal and blew my horn too after parading last night with Italy's World Cup win LOL !!!!!!! I thought I was the only one... too funny!

Yeah, after about an hour, the horn just died. Too funny, yours died too under the same conditions !!! LOL

Viva Italia, after 24 years!!!

Yes that's exactly what I have, how do you trouble shoot which is which to replace of the horns. The pitch sounds really funny. Thanks in advanced folks!!!

There are three horns that I am aware of. Two actual horns and one alarm buzzer. Unplug the regular horns one at a time to determine which is not working.

if u had really bothered to read this thread, it was made in 2006,OP hasnt posted since march of this year although he was on yesterday.

frankeysd searched,found it, and bumped it instead of making a new post () to get some help with it so whats the issue man? while you may know what to do about this issue, OP and frank obviously didn't so where would you expect him to get help if they didnt make a post about it?

BTW i have seen much worse threads made....even some recently
