There are two horns on this vehicle. Check to make sure they are grounded properly, and if you have a volt meter, disconnect the horn wire, have someone push the horn button while you check the voltage on the wire. You should get at least 12 volts. If the horn has a good ground, and is getting the required voltage, then you probably have a bad horn. Disconnect one at a time, and see how loud each of them are. This should help determine which one, if not both is causing the problem.

Horn on my 2003 monte carlo stopped working. The volume got weaker and weaker until finally no sound is made when you press the horn

do you hear a click sound from a relay when pressing on horn button? most likely is underhood. if so,locate the horn(s) and test voltage with a test light or DVOM at the horn + side. if both have voltage,check - side.(ground).if both are correct replace both horns.

Horn doesn't blow loudly on 2002 Escalade

It's possible that the horn exit passage is plugged with debris, but these things are usually a sealed unit which must be replaced. There should be two horns that blow together located one on each side of the radiator--if one is dead, the sound is greatly reduced. Some horns have an adjustment screw that will optimize the sound level. Hope this helps!

Horn Relay replaced multiple times in a few months

Actually you use the horn relay a lot! At least 3 times every time you get lock/unlock your car (6 toots, 2 toots for lock and 1 for unlock right?) ... You just said: "as i clicked my car to lock. It got weaker and weaker until it stopped working" Buy a different brand relay (preferably one not made in China, pay more) and don't expect they WILL last a long time the horns take a lot of power and they have a very dirty feedback to the relay un-like lights. You can dis-able the toots by reading your owners manual.

When I turn the key it just clicks

The battery may have just been replaced, but have you checked the voltage lately?

This sounds like it may have a charging problem.

First, put the battery on a slow charger over night, and see if it will start the next morning.
If it sounds strong, but get weaker after running for a while, you'll want to check the output of the alternator.

You can take your Venture to a local autoparts store, and ask them to run a charging check for you.

Horn stopped blowing

Sounds like you may have corroded terminals on the horn itself.

Find the horn in the engine compartment - remove the wire connected to it - clean the spade terminal with some sand paper and push the terminal back on. If that doesn't work you may need to remove the horn from the car and clean up the earth connection, i.e. where the horn is attached to the body work of the car to get a good electrical contact.
