Dual Horns
With my 69 Firebird the low note horn works and the high note horn does not. Can a horn just flat out quit working or is it in the wiring?

The horn can just quit working. I would disconnect the non working horn and use a test light to ground to the wire off the horn an push the horn button. If the light turns on than the wiring is good and the horn is bad. If you do not get a light than start tracing wires to where the two horns seperate at the splice to locate the open circuit.

If the wiring is okay, you might be able to get the dead horn to work. While someone holds the horn button down (other horn unhooked, to save your ears!), try turning the adjusting screw both ways. Sometimes you get lucky.

I am embarrassed to admit it, but I have gotten more than one to work by hooking a battery to it, and then banging it on the workbench!
They seem to come unstuck.  Regards, Bob Trimpe |

Hmmmm . . . They look different on the Boyd Coddington web site.
http://www.billetwheel.com/cgi/wheel...es&img=29&tn=1 And holy moly! $485 to $890 per wheel! Wow! Anyway, what size wheels and tires are you running?

Hammered,
I wonder if that kit would work for any or our Pontiac horns? It seemed when I was searching for replacement, I was amazed that there were so many diff.s between models, years, etc.

UPDATE
I used a ohm meter and there is no power to the horn with two wires. One weird thing I noticed is the horn relay rattles and makes noise when I hit the horn.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
