My moms Malibu did the same and it was just a bad relay.

Why are you honking so much?!?!? Take an anger management class!!!

No no, I'm just teasing you!!! Horns are important, because they can prevent an accident. My Lumina's broke once, and I wanted that fixed ASAP.

Do like my dad used to on my truck before I fixed the horn on that.... Put it in neutral and rev it really loud!

You probably should anyhow.

If the other vehicle, you're honking at, has the windows up and radio on they can't hear you anyhow. Can't tell you how many times I tried to get someones attention by honking and they never gave any indication of hearing. Horn volume sucks on these cars.

Tell me about it! I think I'm going to hook up a generator in the back, and buy a train locomotive horn on eBay....

I bought a set of Hella duel horns. Nothing special just a good 110db set of duel tone horns to make it so when I beep they don't wave at me.
