Happens on the trucks too...I cleaned mine out twice and got it working again both times, then filled it up again (I like splashy!
), couldn't fix it.

How hard is it to find, remove, and replace the horns? Only one of my horns work, and it sounds so GAY! Instead of a "honk" from double-horns, it's just a ***** little "toot" and it makes me wanna hide when I have to use it... thankfully I haven't had to use it more than a couple times lol.
But seriously, would I be able to do this tomorrow say within an hour on my day off? I'm so sick of the ****** horn.

No need to remove the headlight on the firebirds. Can't really say about the camaros.
Underneath the car you need to remove the passenger side splash shield. It is held on by 5-6 bolts, i think they are 10 mm. The horn assembly is then accesible from the bottom. One bolt holds it to the frame and just unplug the harness and its out.

Well, I replaced the lone tone horn today, and WOW is it nice knowing I can finally honk and not feel gay after doing so! 
It was a lot easier than I thought too. The hardest/longest part was just driving around finding the right horn. I went to AutoZone and they had an aftermarket one that I would have had to splice the wires and yadda yadda yadda (instead of the "plug and go" that's on there now), so I went to Advance Auto, and voila: they had the EXACT same horn/s that came on the car originally, so I replaced the low tone horn (only $11.88 per horn!!), and man am I glad that's outta the way lol.

I replaced both of my horns when the low tone went out. There is a thread on here for the part numbers for the "Freeway Blasters". High decibel, and they bolt right in. They are the exact same part number and everything. My old horn still had water in it when I yanked it out. If I am not mistaken, they make optional covers for these horns to prevent water from getting in. I was just too cheap to order them.
