LMAO, mine died too, and I bought the Autozone one also. Talk about a B**ch horn. This thing cracks me up. It sounds so weak and powerless, but, hell it works, and how often do you actually use the damn thing? For $15, you cant beat it.

If I ever replaced my horn with a non factory job It'd have to sound like a semi-truck or something.

I bet there are tons of you out there that has the same problem. However, I need to fix this in order to pass emissions. My horn doesnt work. All my friends with DSM has the same problem. What is usually the problem? Any ideas?

Replace the horn...
On a 2g, it's under the front bumper, I think on the passenger side. Just unhook the wire, unbolt the horn, bolt on the new horn, and plug in the wire.
That's assuming it's the horn itself that's messed up (which was the case with me), and not some electrical problem.
If you've got a 1g, i dunno where the horn's at..

psst, driver side Or the problem could be like mine and the horn is buried some where in your steering wheel. Mines a pain in the ass to find and sound off. Also check your fuse if you haven't already.

My fuse is just fine...Think it is either electrical or the horn itself. Where is the horn located on a 1997 Eclipse GST???

Check for 12v at the horn when the switch is pressed, if it's there replace the horn. If it's not move up to the electrical system.

The OEM horn will be located somewhere in this area.
PS - Kevingst, sorry I used your car, it was the closest and easiest to show.
