Frank Elder Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 The wife's stock horn gave up the ghost today, and of course I got the LOOK, as if it happened on purpose! So when she ran over to our daughter's for a while, I looked under the hood, could not find the horn so I called the local chivvy service department and they said it is inside the driver's side fender. Tester in hand, I loosened up the lug nuts on the tire, jacked up the front end and procceded to remove the tire and wheel well liner. Then I tested the connections with the help of my grandson Chavito[He is 4] beating on the steering wheel..all wires good. The horn was toast. So the horn was replaced and all is well, right? Momma goes out to try the horn when she comes home and just about threw me in the dog house for all our efforts! It seems somebody told her it was just a bad fuse when all along the stocker was replaced with one of my extra D24 horns, fits in the same space by the way, and it was a little LOUDER than she was expecting!:D:D Oh well...cold shoulder and beanie wienies for me tonight, did I forget to mention it was LOUD! Tim, is that spare room still open? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 yeah..you know how to put down hardwood flooring...am almost at the half way point in the den..working around the furniture is a bear.. Quote
Frank Elder Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Posted October 15, 2009 It looks like a bad deal for Tim, I have installed plenty of tongue N groove....But Esmey would want to know why you gave KINGS X:D Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 the tongue and groove flooring is going down nicely....hardest part is that I have to walk about 170 feet through the house to the chop saw in the shop.. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 I have always thought it would be fun to install some old style, loud horns on a late model vehicle. And see people's reaction. "Beep, Beep, My A**" Quote
Niel Hoback Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 These are a pair of 48 P-15 horns on a 97 Buick LeSabre. They've been here since 98. There is a relay that gets its signal from the oem horns, which really can't be heard anymore. Loud? Well, of course they are, don't be ridiculous. I'm pretty sure theres no room for a pair on a Cobalt, though. Quote

That's one tight engine compartment, they even had to put the battery in the trunk. That's when I lost interest in them, after seeing that. Quote

The only way to put a pair of them in is to put the other horn in the passenger side fender like I did on the drivers side with the first horn, remember Niel your horns are straight and the dodge horns have a 90 in them.

Niel Hoback Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 Ouch, I don't know where I could put bent horns. On the hood? What would the wife say then? Quote
Normspeed Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 Frankie, I think you are I may be distant relations. I can imagine my son telling this same story. In fact, we were just today discussing horn options for his wife's VW project. He was leaning towards a 150 db horn he took off his sickle, while I was thinking of one that played tunes... Quote
Niel Hoback Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 As far as horns go I always say, if ones good, four's better. Quote

Yes, it's truly amazing that she is still with me after 30 odd years...I hope you realize we have horn fixation and it will only get worse as we age. Quote
