My horn has all of the sudden gotten quiet. It used to be pretty loud, now I feel like I'm in a Fiat or something!

Anyone else ever had this problem or have any suggestions?

It sound like one of the two horns stopped working. Check the wiring harness to make sure both clips are attached.

Here is what it looks like

Wish my horn looked like that...I really need to add back the second one that Ford decided to leave out.
You haven’t done that already? Man, just do it. I did about 6 months ago. Paid $25 for the horn and my dealer comp’ed the install. I recorded before and after. It made a world of difference.

Does everyone really use their horn that often? I've seen a few of these threads, granted I've only owned MY19 for three months now, but the only time I've used it was to hear what it sounded like with everyone complaining about how weak it is.

Is there a how-to on this somewhere?
What parts would I need?
Is the additional horn a different p/n?
Do I need a different bracket or additional wiring?
Where's the horn located and how difficult is it to access?

After the first time you “need” to use your horn you’ll understand. This was a stupid decision by Ford on what I consider to be a safety item.

I guess I don't feel there is ever a "need" to use your horn. My first instinct is not the horn in order to avoid rear ending someone, changing lanes to avoid being side swiped ETC. Yes I've used it but not enough to feel like it needs to be more powerful/louder.

That's because you live in sunny southern California, where everyone is more relaxed and friendly. I come from the cold bitter north. My horn is used exclusively to get someone's attention when I want to flip them off in retaliation for some slight, whether real or imagined.
You've obviously never driven in Southern California......

Thanks everyone. After reading this, it seems that my horn stopped being so loud the last time I cleaned my air filter. I had removed the air box and bet I knocked a wire loose or something!
