Default Horn is weak sounding

Drove through a hell of a lot of giant puddles in a little quary behind work and now my horn sounds like crap and a stick without the stick. What's going on here?

Water in horn = funny sounding horn. Give it a couple of days to dry out it'll be fine.

I'm thinking about getting the stock one from a Durango. I like the way that one sounds.

Go to Auto Zone and get a Wolo Bad Boy Horn......Its loud, you will need to replace the 10 amp fuse with a 15 amp.
Have a great and safe day.

my horn always goes out when it gets wet, which is normal, but last time I went to the sand dunes it hasn't recovered. I'm thinking maybe some sandy water got in there and when it dried it left sand. That's the only logical explanation I can think of..maybe something similar happened here if it was more than water.

I don't want an air horn. All I want is a replacement electric horn that is a bolt on replacement. A dual horn would be cool.
