Stupid Question. Where's the horns?

[turbo39151]

I hit the horn and discovered no beep. I tested the pad area and I'm good to go. I looked for the horns to see if they were unplugged or damaged. I can't find them. (maybe I'm blind) Also, I get varying tones from two different buicks. Did these cars come with different horns (high and low).

Forgive the ignorance but it's nothing I ever even thought about.

yes there are two (high&low) and are located in the inner fender drivers side near headlights evap canister. look out for horn relay(since horns arent working listen and see if you can hear a click to make sure its working)

As far as horns go 80's vintage Buicks used 4 different notes. The G-bodies only used 2 of them. High note was A, low note was F. If you look at the body of the horn near the opening you should see one of those letters cast into the plastic. On the high end cars like the Park Ave and Riviera the four note horns were an option. In addition to the A and F note there was also a high note C and low note D for a total of four horns. Another useless bit of trivia. MonteCarlo and ElCamino only got a single low note horn. All the other G-bodies used dual horns. I think a horn weighs one pound. Another way to pick up another .001 in the 1/4 mile.

I heard the clicking but could not see the horns.

Thanks eric for the useless trivia It's actually quite helpful.
