My dad has that same problem when he goes through water and his never really came back to life. Got a little louder after it dried out but not back to normal. But from reading other threads on here about the same thing, I vote new horn. If I was more handy, I would change out my perfectly good super wimpy horn. I think my civic had a louder horn. (Not complaing tho-still love the jeep)

Search for horn write-ups and will get tons of ideas, yes I do agree with the stock horn sounding gay too. That's why I changed mine immediately.

A set of Hella Supertones hooked to my standard horn switch through a relay. Two actual horns, but triggered as one.

Also I have an set of air trumpets wired to my compressor, two trumpets but again triggered as one.
