Default wore out my horn

such random things going half wrong w. my car ...

only the right half/side of my horn is making sound & before i replace the horn(s) (with something a lot more anrgy sounding) i want to make sure it's not the wires or something like that.

so, where are the horns? are they right behind the grill? or somewhere harder to get at

help! thx guys

while i definitely appreciate all the things i can do to make my horn better ...

where IS the horn first? i need to know where it is to test the wires! (otherwise it's just a wiring problem and having a train horn will do me little good)

behind the grill woohoo ... ok, simple wire test & so long as the wires are all good its new horn time for me

for others having this issue, i ended up finding a thread on my.is about it: http://my.is/forums/f115/horn-does-not-work-329020/

Fay,

The horn is right behind the grill right in front of the radiator. I found the below several years back and laughed for hours, days, months.
