Re: [DML] Pathetic horns?

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

Les,

The sound you are describing indicates water damage to your horns. This is
common in the DeLorean due to the close proximity of the horns to the
ground.

If your horns are factory originals they do have the tone adjustment you
described. In some cases after disassembly and cleaning you may be able to
return your horns to there original sound. On the other hand it is probably
more cost effective to replace them with either factory originals or generic
replacements available at most auto supply stores.
