Hey TURBOXR, I'm happy to lend any advice to since its all fresh in my mind.. I'll let you know where NOT TO STUFF UP =]

anyway, guys I've come across the horn problem again,

It's not sounding deep and loud how it use to.. It kind of sounds like a novelty flakey sounding horn,

the bolts are in firmly and I don't think I got any water down the horns as they are faced downwards..

and im pretty sure I've left the wiring connected from when I took them off.

and now my fuse tends to keep blowing after I beep my horn after like 3 times?

and I've gone through 3 fuses already,

do the bolts have to be on REALLLLY TIGHT??

or do the horns have to be on a specific angle, or swapped around on the bracket..

You've got a short somewhere...

Check the positive wire isnt touching the body/chassis anywhere.

Have you got them wired together corectly?

Sounds like one is wired round the wrong way... so when you hit the horn buttom, one horn makes noise, the other shorts out.

It'll sound like a Barina horn if only one is working lol

I win, mine took over a week to fit (got the week off work) :-)

Mind you I spent 3/4 the time polishing bits and pieces while they were off the car hah

LOL .. all in all.. its FUN

just a matter of not breaking anything and you'll be proud of your effort ;)

so I hope I havent put anyone off from doing this DIY job.

thought I'd ask one more question on my thread while im at it..

when my mate drilled a hole in my radiator by accident. WE had used JB weld to putty it up

and he also put it over the crack I made on my condesor pipe.

Does anyone know if the jb weld is good enough to withstand the air pressure in our condesors? rather than to go and buy a brand new condensor ?

I ended up bending the aircon line completely out of the way and I had broken it around the welding on the condesor ... it leaked ALL its gas OUT..

Mate - I did exactly the same thing yesterday when fitting my Monza cooler!!! :crybaby:

It's a crack that I hope should be able to be welded.

Have you had yours welded yet? I'm in South East Melb - maybe we could get a discount

somewhere if they did two of the same job... I think that really it should take a welder 5 minutes

to do a spot weld to fix a crack - Would probably need to drive it in with the front bar removed.

Cheers.
