Default Anyone know what this is in the driver side fender?

So I've been trying to get my horn to work. Today I replaced the clockspring but unfortunately that didn't solve the issue. I noticed this module looking thing that bolts on the driver fender toward the driver.

There were two thin wires (red/blue striped wire and a white wire) that were cut, I'm guessing tires rubbed through them. My harness is fine I relocated that already but it was just these wires that seemed problematic.





Does anyone have an idea what these are for?

Did some researching and they are DOOR BUZZER for the wireless key entry system. For anyone curious.

As in, the audible chirp? That's useful to know, in case I say, wanted to hook air horns up to it. Fun in parking lots.

yeah it's that chirp for the remote key. I'm gonna have to Jerry rig an air horn too if I don't get this damn stock horn issue solved.

I assume you've checked fuses?

Fuses good.
Relay good. clicks.
Clockspring good.

I found this connector under coolant reservoir /pics attached. How many horns do we have? I have one horn on the driver side behind radiator and a chirp horn one near driver strut mount. Is there supposed to be another horn here?

That's your ambient temperature sensor. It should go through the opening down below and clip into the bottom of the bumper support, but they're so tough to un-clip, they seem to be broken off frequently and just set in the grill somewhere.

There are two regular horns in front of the radiator -- one up high (driver's side) and one down low (passenger side) -- and the alarm horn on the driver's side strut tower. Plus the chirp module you found.

Alright so I can't find the low tone horn. Only one I see is the high torn. I ordered a set of high and low on eBay I'll update if those work. I'll check the voltages too to rule out the wires.
