I installed some 2 Hella Horns (1 High Tone/1 Low Tone Horns) that I bought from AutoZone 3 weeks ago. Well, today I was honking my horn (pressed down for 5 seconds) to get my friend's attention that was driving in his truck passing by and my horns just faded out and died. This happened last night and this morning I press my horn and nothing happens. This means that I don't even have a working alarm anymore! I CANT HAVE THAT! So how can I have this fixed quick?



I installed it by cutting the old horn off and tieing both the other horns wires together and wraping them around each other and then tieing them with the main line and wrapping it with eletrical tape. Like this

-<

- = main line

< = two horns

Did I blow something or are the horns defective? And what is this about a 12V 30A (12 volt, 20 amp) relay? Horn relay? Do I need to get this also and connect it to the battery? I am confused! Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

take it back to autozone since u have a full 1-yr warranty

 

so the horns are bad?

 

Probably. It was working before and out of nowhere it stopped working. You only need to add the relay if u want to add them to your current horns. Installation seems fine but before you start messing with your car again, I'd take it to a car electrician just to see whether you messed up on something or not and if he says ur fine(he shouldnt charge you a single penny) then take the horns back to autozone for defectiveness.
Most shops are empty early on weekdays.

 

thanks for the advice man. ill take it to a audio/electronics place! thanks man!

 

Might want to check the fuse for it. I would imagine that having two horns hook up where 1 use to be would cause more current draw.

 

he already checked the fuse. after we told him what a fuse was and where the fuse boxes were. he posted this on vtec.net. he needs professional help

 

that sounded so mean! lol

 

sorry just wanted to make sure you'd get some help
