On top of that, it seemed to not work correctly on certain days, and fine on others. So a couple weeks ago I pulled my little Saturn into the garage to take a look. I had bought a second horn, one note higher (C, I believe) a few days beforehand as a backup, or whatever. I pulled off the headlight casing and unattached the horn. As I pulled it off, a bunch of water dripped out.

Realizing that the horn didn't work on rainy days, I made the obvious conncection that on rainy rays, water was getting into to the horn and making it sound old and croaky. Instead of simply turning the horn out of the path of rain, I decided to wire in the second I bought before ...
