Default Horn Is Dying

Recently the horn started making dying noises. Sounds weak and off tone and not as loud as it used to be.

Has this happened to anyone? How easy is it to replace the horn??

Do you really need the horn? I'm pretty sure I saw the horn when I took the front bumper off, so you may need to do that to replace it. The bumper is not that hard to take off, just a pain until you do it a couple of times.

Yes in horrible Southern CA traffic a horn is needed. Overcrowded roads and dumb drivers!

Assuming no other odd electrical issues within the vehicle, then the horns themselves are just on their way out.

Time for an upgrade? https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...pic-heavy.html
