    How to fix your horn for free.

    I just got my horn working again! Had some time yesterday and had some luck. My symptoms: No horn. When arming/disarming, the horn chirps work, so I knew the horn wan't really dead. Changing the relay did nothing, and the fuse was fine. It once worked again (for a short period of time)...
