Sounds like your low tone horn is bad, I had the same problem. Check this thread I posted a while back for a $10 replacement horn that was IDENTICAL to the GM horn that I pulled out, down to the part number: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...highlight=horn

It's really crazy, all these horns going out. Mine went out a week or so ago too. I think I lost the low one.

I just bought some at Advance Auto and put them in. Unreal...they are the exect same brand and everything. I bought the highway blasters, but I can't tell if they are louder or not. I am glad I didn't get the regular ones. I was afraid these would be too loud, but I can't tell the difference. Sweet.

I turned mine over and they were full of water too. Has anybody seen the horn shields any place other than the dealership? I looked for some today, but I didn't see any at Advance...

i was actually looking into fabbing one up out of some thick plastic.... maybe i will make 2 and be willing to send it to you at price of materials and very little labor maybe $5 or $10.... going to have to look into it....saves your horn from having to be replaced... might be worth it... have to find some time tho

i purchased the same horn you did the freeway blaster.... its a little louder than stock but not much... i compaired it to my buddies Z..... sounded a bit better...
