Monotone horn
While honking at some idiot who cut me off in a left turn only lane, the
horn on my 89 Accord went from a dual tone to a single tone. Is my horn now permanently disabled? And where is the horn? I looked around under the hood and couldn't find anything that looked like a horn. Thanks |

They are slightly different in pitch from each other, and one of yours is dead. Go stand at the front of the car and have somebody honk the horn. Whichever side you hear the sound from is the good side. In your case, it might also be a corroded wire that's fallen off. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Found out it was way easier to take the front bumper off. Remove the turn signal lamp housings from the bumper (look under the bumper for one screw location) and the attach bolts are behind them. Don't think it's a wire problem, I bet you need a new horn. Feed it 12 volts and you'll know if it's dead or not. bob |
