Pretty easy to replace.......remove the cosmetic plastic panel above the radiator......remove the bumper cover....the horns are right there, two of them, right infront of the radiator.

You're gonna want to spread a blanket (or something) on the ground to protect the paint of the bumper

No need to remove the whole bumper, all you need to remove is the grille to get the space you need. I replaced one of my horns and I didn't even remove the grille, there's just enough space to pull them up without removing the grille. I would recommend removing the grille though as it'll give you more room to work with.

Yea the part number will tell you which one is the low/high pitched horn. The part number for the low pitched horn is 86520-30610, and the part number for the high pitched horn is 86510-30700. The low pitched horn is on the driver's side and the high pitched horn is on the passenger side. You could probably unplug one horn at a time and then honk the horn to see which one is dying.

Unplug one at a time and push the horny button! lol Or just replace both.

The horn for lock status on mine gets real weak as temperature rises. You can't even hear it and it's a 2013. lol
