Weird Horn Problem
Ok i have a 5th gen, there is 2 horns in it, one in the front and one next to the coolant jug, the one inside just stopped getting power outa the blue, and the other one works fine, any idea why i dont get power to that horn anymore, no blown fuses, checked with other horns and volt meters to no avail.

Thats what I would think as well, broken wires or unit went out.

It happened to me on my 94 eclipse, the low one quit workin so I had a really high pitched horn. I dont use the horn very often so I let it slide.

Maybe while you are at it try to find a louder horn. The stock setup is pretty wimpy. Doesn't exactly get people's attention.
