electric horns can go bad with age, and on some models there is a screw or knob that can be turned to control the amount of vibration/noise that the diaphram makes. If it is getting power try turning that screw if you have one, or else replace the unit.

Oh your gonna love this. Someone disconnected the horn button inside the steering wheel, or maybe it come loose. I pinched it before reconnecting it.
Now, when I press the button, I hear the relay clock (woo hoo!) but the horn is DOA.
I can see the horn, but its nice and virtually on top of the transmission area right on the firewall, behind the engine. Now, unless I find a 5yr old to stuff in there and help me...not sure how I can reach this thing to swap it out...x1Heavy Thanks this. -
I think I had maybe one truck in 35yrs.that the city horn worked.
x1Heavy Thanks this. -
I don't understand why they would need to run hot wires to horn button. Seems like you would have less problems running hot to horn and use the horn button to ground.

I actually used the city horn a block later. beep.
They laughed me out of there. Telling me thats not a horn. I got angry too fast and hit the airhorn.
Two local police officers quit laughing and started yelling at me on the fuel tank. Threatened everything from confiscation to involuntary confinement all the way down the line. I could not stop laughing. That only fed gasoline into the flames.
To this day that was the one time I used the city horn in trucking and it was a fiasco. I don't know why we have the #### things in there anyway. -
My wires on city horn are broke at the top need to know where they come in on a freightliner century class truck
