WTH? One of my horns doesn't work anyone!

One day last week, I used my horn at work when driving around a blind corner. To my surprise, it sounded different. So I pulled over and put my hand to the horn and well you guessed it. I could hear one of the horns kicking in and out. So finally it died! I looked at the connectors and checked the fuse. No luck.
I also checked to see if there were other threads about horns going bad. I only saw other owners upgrading to an air horn and simply replacing the factory with aftermarket. But has anyone had a similar issue? Does anyone have an extra horn laying around (assuming that's my problem)?
Let me know. I love to use my horn. I feel stupid when I hear the damn thing. I never knew what a difference one horn could make. Anyways that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

 

Mine has been doing this intermittently lately. When I hit the panic button is seems work fine, but sometimes when I honk the horn via the steering wheel is sounds like a damn Hyundai or something. Then sometimes it works again. Not sure what's going on.

 

Not Toyota related but the horn on my 1997 Mazda b2300 died about 8 years into ownership. If I remember correctly I got a replacement at Pep Boys for $15. I am not sure of the exact problem with the old horn but the new one solved the problem and worked until the truck got totaled in 2012.

 

Well hell, one of my horns has been sounding funny and sporadically working and I thought it was something related to the fender-bender I was involved in in Nov. Maybe not.

 

Your horn is grounded thru the mount pull your horn off clean and rust corrosion and or paint off where it mounts to the body and see if that helps you know of course as long as you have power

 

Do all 2nd gens have two horns? My single cab has always sounded like a bike horn.

 

There are two horns on the second generation. (One "beep-beep" horn on the first gen.) The gen two have a high note and a low note. Two high or two low notes wont sound right. It's the combination of high and low that makes the correct noise. Make sure that you get the right one. A Pep Boys horn will work, fine.

 

Mine does it on and off i've checked the contacts a few times, cleaned them they will be fine for awhile then one will go out of a few days.

 

I only have one horn on my 13'. If you want to call it a horn. More like a pathetic noise. I had 2 horns on my 03'.

 

Oh, I see. There are a few changes year to year. You can run a two note high/low set off of your single horns wires. You'll have to crimp on some terminals. The horns on my 2009 will blow your hat off. Stock. I know that if they ever get water in them, it's soon all over. It's just a coil of wire in there and they need to stay dry and clean.

 

I had been looking at replacing the single horn on my 13' but there is only one connection whereas the duel horn has 2. Without any complicated wiring alterations, how can I adapt the duel horns with the single connection?

 

Like This:

Wire from Horn Relay

Splice for horn # 2

 

Test the voltage at the horn and make sure it's correct. If found to be correct, then buy a new horn from a Toyota parts web site or from your dealer. They don't cost that much.

 

That's the thing... it works fine when I hit the panic button but it doesn't always work fine when I hit the steering wheel.

 

Sorry, my comment wasn't directed at you. Didn't notice the thread was old. Maybe one of your horns is just starting to go bad and intermittently doesn't work. I've had that happen on other vehicles.

 

Yeah haha I searched and this was the closest thing that came up
