I think this will cover it.... Inoperative horn diagnosis on 2g
Basically check fuses, relays, and for 12V(at the horn itself) when button is applied. I had this problem and it was the horn itself.

How can you tell if a DSM horn is working? Surely not by listening to the bleaty little clod. Wait.... there? No, that was a balljoint. Oh! There it is... no, I just farted on the leather. Damn.



eww.

Don't eat any of that ever again.

:eek:

DSM horns are very quiet.

I couldn't hear mine over the turbo.

The horn went out on my DSM when it was still under warranty. Check the fuse first, if thats not it you might need to replace it.

Or, dirty contacts in the steering wheel.
Be careful of the airbomb. er, bag.

However, be aware that you usually can't hear the stock horn anyway.

my horn sounds like a dying elephant and only the left horn button works u can only hear it when Im idling my car. 95 GS-T horns are horrible lol. Good thing I'd rather use my middle finger than my horn.

just buy a small air horn and velcrow it some where within arms reach to you (for daytime) and at night, get a good 3000+watt lamp. This gets the point across very well i have found.

"for everyone who things im serious do not do this"

haha hmmm i wonder if theres any way to hook up the air compressor from my air bag suspension to power some nice big loud train horns that I could velcro to the top of my dsm lol. jk i dont even have an air bag suspension.




"One of my friends questions in truck driving class was, if the brakes lock up when the air compressor runs out of air because the air horns use the air from the same system. If I hold down the horn long enough, will I run out of road before I stop?" :laugh:

It should be on the front bumper by the fog light. I dont remember which foglight, but im thinking it was attached to the pass side fog light bracket. I'm assuming it would be the same on a GST as on a GS. Good luck!

You'd never find it by listening for it. F@ggot farts are louder.

Only turbo cars have a single horn, when you find the horn on a GS, you'll find another on the other side.

The antitheft horn is on the firewall by the battery, and is about three times as loud as the factory horn.

You have gangs of room in the bumper to mount a nice set of air horns.
