Daytona Heat made horn sound funny

[NEWHD74FAN]

Sounds like the horn housing is loose (some have "displaced metal fasteners" holding it together), and when you install the cover, it warps the housing just enough to contact the diaphram inside. If it is the depressed metal type, you could use a hand punch tool and tap each one against a flat anvil if they are like rivets...in criss cross sequence, but it sounds like your gonna be beating a dead horse. Can't hurt in either case...

Went to O'rilley Auto Parts today and bought a stock replacement horn for a car. Put it on and problem solved!!! Still can't figure out how the old horn could work fine until mounted but for $16.47 I have it fixed. Harley wanted $39.95 for the same thing. I'm gonna let the garbage can have the old one.

Glad you got the problem eh...replaced. O'Reilly/Kragen replacement is a good idea, unit being made by Fiamm which is an OEM and aftermarket maker for many auto manufacturers.

I think Shucks auto has good horns that are cheap and will still work good
