Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Dear enthusiats, I need help with replacing my high/low tone horns that has gone bad. So I did the whole airbag retaining frame replacement (because at some point, the horn was going off on its own), found that the fuse B3 was blown, replaced that and horn still doesn't work. I am assuming that the relay works because a bad horn in a common thing. I scoured the forum and the only thing I found was someone saying that the bad horn replacement was an easy DIY. Soooo, could someone please point me to some steps, pics etc. for this. Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

You are correct, a bad horn is a common thing. However, don't assume relay is working. You should hear it click when you press on the airbag in the steering wheel. The relay is located in the panel in footwell just above fuse panel. Replacing the horns themselves is very straight forward AFTER you remove the front bumper cover (which takes ~ 20min). You'll see them plain as day once the cover is off. While you have the bumper cover off, you should clean out your radiators too Here's a thread on how to remove front bumper cover Good luck PS- Horn Relay is plug 10

POST 3Original post

Here's a different thread... similar job. http://www.realtime.net/~rentner/Porsche/Radiator/Radiator.html

POST 4Original post

Try a search on RennTech. I now there is at least one thread on adding an air horn with detailed instructions.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
