Angry My G sounds like a Fiat when I honk

<rant>
After owning a 2004 G coupe for 3 and half years I've grown accustomed to little things going wrong with that car. Then in early 2007 when I picked up my 2007 G sedan, I was hoping I will go through 3 and a half years without any problems...

...and then I was proven wrong... One of the horns shat the bad the other day and my G now sounds like an Italian goat being raped...

Time to take it to the dealer...

</rant>

LOL thanks for the laugh Daniel. Sorry I couldn't help but chuckle at your description

At least your doors still work. My one rear door has been inoperative for months .
Took it in once, they said it was fixed NOT!!!!.
They ordered whole new door handle, mechanism and cable. Parts are now in, but I haven't had a chance to make the 2 hour drive on bad roads to the Dealer yet. Looks like I will let them take another stab at it when I return from vacation in March.

Twin Trumpet Airhorn by WoLo, $24 at Pep Boys. Add one 12V relay and now your car sounds like a Ferrari. That's what I did.

Yeah, but those things don't last. I had one in my Tacoma. They're great in the beginning, but the little compressor dies out pretty quickly. At least that's my experience.

Had mine in for two years with no problems. You MUST oil it now and then.

Ah, maybe I should read the instructions!
Mine went from sounding like a train to sounding like a mouse with a wheezing issue.

I had the same problem until i used an external relay to power it. I originaly hooked it up the the OEM wires and it worked, but later it did just like you said. Once I used a 30 amp relay, it blasts like a train.
