So I need to get my inspection sticker and it requires a working horn..

When I pressed the horn button I got this very very weak clicky like beep, i figured the horn was bad because it's exposed to the elements and pretty worn out.. ordered a 15 dollar replacement horn, installed it... exact same problem with the new horn.

My immediate thought was the connections but if it's making the weak clicky beep noise it must be getting power?

Help!

How good is the ground, a bad ground can do it- power coat paint or rust. Check at the connector off the horn - one is ground and the other is Pos 12v threw the horn button/switch.

Got a voltmeter? (a good small investment). You're getting power to the horn(s), but how much power? Donut is right... bad ground can prevent the good connections you need to properly activate your horn. Good luck.

Yup, you may be getting 12-volts reading on a meter but a crappy connection, either ground or positive power, will not pass the amperage necessary to activate the horn. It's like getting water but no water pressure.

Just tossing a thought and a question out there, being I've never torn into the left side on this one I really have no clue.
Does the horn button have a similar set up & problems as the starter button does?

The "ground" of the horn connects to a 14 pin connector that could be causing high resistance connection. I would pull the "D" fuse (horn) and reinstall to clean it's terminals, jump switch to test and then if needed check 14 pin connector. I personally like to use Kopper Shiels 8 on all my electrical connections. This is an electrically conductive anti-seize. Wishing you well.

my wife's Shadow did this and the back of the horn was touching metal and was making it sound funny. I put a spacer on the bracket to move the horn out...works great.
