What could make the horn slowly lose its loudness? Mines doing this and it sounds like an animal dying and needs to be put out of it's misery :lol:

I am hoping I don't have to take it back to KIA cause those jerkwads tend to keep it an entire day.

Koreans need to take regular doses of tiger penis or they loose their horn.

Us Brits never loose our horn!

Maybe there's a bad connection with the fuse:

Do you use it a lot?

Does it ever go off on it's own?

Does it take longer to blow than it used to?

You're not abusing it are you?

Has anyone else noticed?

Do you make excuses for your horn's lack of performance?

Do you ever experience feelings of guilt when you punish your horn for failing to live up to your expectations?

Do you suspect your horn blows better for others?

How does that make you feel?

Do you ever fantasize about blowing someone else's horn?

Do you harbor feelings of horn envy?

Then get yourself an after market air horn baby!

It could also just be dirty. Locate it, remove it and give it a good cleaning. Otherwise, check here. (http://www.kia-forums.com/forumindex.php) You might be able to do a little research about it there. It looked like there was no search function though.
