Honk! What? Honk! What? I can't hear you, that must be a DSM horn [Merged 1-8]

[vipermike2002]

My horn on my 98 GS doesent work. This was a problem my car had when I bought it. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I think this will cover it.... http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=103779&highlight=horn
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.

my horn works 20% of the time.. Works sometimes on warm dry days.. I dont really care to fix it thou!

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.

 

[vipermike2002]

what?

 

[nutshot]

DSM horns are very quiet.

I couldn't hear mine over the turbo.

 

[Defiant]

Just get these. They'll hear ya.

test light !

 

[mitsugsx95]

Just take it off. Who needs a horn when ya got a finger.

I had to take mine off cause the ic piping went over the bracket.

 

[MaXimus0076]

I have a 95 gst.My horn does not work anymore.Is there a fuse for it,if so where? How do I go about getting it fixed

 

[talon7684]

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.

 

[Defiant]

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 . Good thing I'd rather use my middle finger than my horn.

 

[gsx rated98]

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"

 

[elementalwindx]

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 . 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:

 

[MaXimus0076]

Where is the fuse for the Horn?

 

[Defiant]

Engine compartment fuse box, #8.

Oh, and:

i need to replace my horn on my 95 gs and im not sure where it is located?? anyone know where it is and how to replace it?? if you had pics it would help. thanks.

 

[mark95turbo]

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!

 

[eclipse0508]

thanks man. i appreciate it.

 

[DevilSperm]

this seems to be a common problem...i had to replace mine..had a civic horn layin around so i used it then a month later the buttons stopped working

 

[Defiant]

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.

Yeh, when some drillhead has to pepper the forums with the same question, they tend to get the same answer.
