I knew that would get some peoples attention!!! ;)
About a year ago when I bought my Def 90, it came with a very soft effeminate horn. I even posted on here about it. I did buy a new horn off ebay but it was a 6 button multiple choice thing that had to be dash mounted and I didnt want that, so its collecting dust in the garage.
Now yesterday the horn was needed and the first blast was as usual,, (poofy) the second weaker still and the third, fourth and fifth (just testing it now), progressivley got weaker and weaker as if it was run by individual batteries that had given up the ghost.
It is now dead. :eek:
Is this a connection problem, or do the actual horns have a life span and then stop working?
Oh, the car battery in all other respects is fine.
 
Replace it OR, take a live feed directly to the horn and power it up that way, also tap the metal plate on the front, it's just siezed up, apply power via a direct live feed will give it a good high blast and it can draw plenty current without risking you burning out the stalk.

If it doesn't work, £15 from halfords will get you the stebel magnum, quite good horn I would say.
 
same problem with mine as described...re-made spade terminals and cleaned connections on horn itself and it was then banging out a loud squawk again :D
