I had an issue with mine. Only one out of two horns worked and sometimes sporadically. I replaced the horn with a new set and viola', it works perfect and louder. It may not be your horn button, so try another horn you know works first. Hope this helps.

i fixed it, went to autozone got a new horn but the bracket hole was 2 small for the new horn so i had to drill it out a bit more. and had to use quick disconnects on the 2 small wires to connect to eh new horn. and now it works good.
