Good to know...did you use a air compressor to blow out and dry??? This will be one of my jobs today....along with draining my Diff's.

That happened to me. I wasn't able to get all the water out and the horn never sounded the same. I removed the horn and drilled a small hole at the very center of it to drain the LAST LITTLE BIT of water and then plugged up the hole with epoxy putty. Worked like a charm. That was almost a year ago.

Any chance you could show a picture of where / how you mounted your Hella Horns. I have looked and didn't see an obvious place.
