[DeTomaso] Horn Maintenance

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

Try pressurizing them one at a time from a shop compressor. That way
you'll know if there's air going through both horns to begin with.

I'll save Larry from Cleveland the effort, and say that I'm not as horny
as
I used to be?



My air horn appears to be only producing noise from one of the two
airhorns.
This is a new development, as both used to sound.



This is the stock setup in my car:

Yes, I have been fudzing around in the area. But I don't see possible
failure modes where only one horn would blow. There is a single
electrical
connection which I assume activates a mini-compressor. I'd assume that
if
one horn sounds, then the other should as well. The only failure mode I
could see in my innocence is an air hose ruptured, and they appear to be
in
good shape. 



Steve Leibenow wrote in the POCA newsletter that he had to oil his air
horns
(yes, it's true) in his Mangusta to get them to work again. Any
suggestions
on what to look for in my case? Jack (or Steve) do you remember what
issue
had the article on oiling your air horns? Are these symptoms compatible
with
Steve's?



Thanks all!
