Ok so just to confirm NSFP is 100% correct, there's a High and a Low horn, but both of them do function with either feature.
The ECM controls this by alternating grounds/power, thusly when you press the LOCK button, the horns are wired in series, causing a quieter noise, and when you press the Steering wheel they're running full voltage.
When the alarm goes off this feature alternates.

would this be an easy diy or i should bring the G into a shop?
any suggestion to how i should tackle this problem? maybe there are clear indication that it is a bad ground?
That's weird, cool to know! Thanks dude.
I have to pull my grill off to clearcoat it tonight so I'll try it for shyt and gigs while waiting for the clear to dry.
Wonder if it could be a bad ground, if they share a common ground?
I'll look when my grill is off and see if I can shed some insight

Unfortunately No, you can't do much with the grounds. And after checking that circuit, it's actually unlikely to be a ground issue.
My first checks would be the horns. Supply them with a known good 12V jumper on + and - and see if they work.
If the horns are good you can then check your wiring, just follow it as far as you can and make sure nothing is rubbing or chaffed.
Pop the grill off and start looking around.

let me be clear, the horn does not work when i push on my steering wheel and it also doesnt work when i lock my car. I dont know why my fuse keeps going bad; i know if i replace it, i will be in the same predicament i am now. Anyone have any suggestions why this is happening? Thanks in advance! ![Smilie](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Lol horns would be the worst thing to test. Make sure you wear ear protection...
I have a question!!
At the rear of my 2003 G35 sedan a piece of metal has completely rusted and fallen apart (Its under the body). Its near the muffler. Ill try to get a picture tonight.
I noticed it when I was mounting my rear lip, wondering if I have to get it replaced because it looks impossible to diy. It had some weird flaps and plastic hooks behind it.

perhaps a bad horn? when my headlight ballast was bad my fuse kept popping too, i replaced the headlight and everything and when i switched ballasts from one side to another, the other fuse popped, so I knew it was the ballast. idk if the horns are wired in series but if not, maybe try removing one and then replacing the fuse and testing, and then removing the other? or if you have a friend with a G swap horns and check your fuses then. idk where the horns are or how to remove em but hopefully this will help ![Biggthumpup](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/biggthumpup.gif)
