WD22 Xterra horns are notorious for it. They start to sound like a kazoo. Pidge is correct, 10 minute job total.

Mine gave out after my first Grimsby run, I ignored it, then one day, bunch on kids were skateboarding in the middle of the road in front of me, bigger road not a suburb road, and they weren't moving, so instead of the brakes I just laid on my horn, forgetting it was gone. My music was up so I couldn't hear anything but i saw them all jump out of the way so I kept going as per usual. When I got out of my truck, I pressed the lock button, and it honked at me. I was shocked, sure enough, the horn worked again! since then its been submerged many times and hasn't gone bad again!! I loved my X's horn! :P

You must have the High note ones. We weren't sure which one we needed and bought both the High note and the Low Note from PA.

Be sure to look for the one that says "BIG RIG"! LOL

I have two choices on mine... After the stock one died - I went to PA and got the "Coffee Truck" air horn - did the trick for a while but not really intimidating... The Second is a Big Rig Air horn - let me tell ya - People tend to move while I use this one !!!

lol...yeah I bought them through Budds Subaru and didn't think about it until I installed them on the fronty...gay is only word to describe them on the truck...replaced them with the horns from Simon's old pathy...now it is only slightly less gay...lol

I will still install them on the subaru...they are loud and work well for cars.

New horns are on the PA shopping list for my next visit.
