Horn only works on passenger side?

So after the Phillies won the World Series on Wednesday I was laying on the horn celebrating, driving around the stadium, and all of a sudden the horn stopped working on the driver side. Is it a fuse or does the horn need to be replaced?

What horn on the driver's side are you talking about. on my '06, both are still in the same place as my '01, on the passenger side. Are these after market ?

BTW read your owners manual, horn relay, and horn power is a single fuse ( page 277 )

Thumbs up

Hey thanks. When it comes to electrical systems I am totally lost. It is the factory horn. Used to be 2 tone and now it is mono tone. I'd like to replace the factory horn with a louder air horn eventually anyway. Thanks again.

I understand what your saying. Like these guys have said there is only one location for the horn which is behind the bumper on the passenger side. The sound you heard could be your horn wearing out, its made of a diaphragm which gets weak and eventually sounds goofy like a geo metro horn. BUT before you dismiss it as worn out check all of your connections and the relay.

Your horn is actually two individual trumpets. These can overheat when exposed to "extended blow" and fail.
