By Jeff Hood -Long Beach, California on Monday, November 20, 2017 - 11:36 am:Steve, are you sure it isn't a 12V horn? I have seen a couple that are 12V.
By Steve Jelf, Parkerfield KS on Monday, November 20, 2017 - 11:41 am:Nope, the tag says 6.
By Joseph A. Stearns on Monday, November 20, 2017 - 11:45 am:Steve I ran into the same thing . It turned out to be a bad ground. Try running a separate ground wire.
By Steve Tomaso - Longbranch,WA on Monday, November 20, 2017 - 11:46 am:The motor is dragging - clean the armature, lube the bearing points and adjust the tension point to your tone liking.
By Nevada Bob Middleton on Monday, November 20, 2017 - 11:54 am:TV radio tube cleaner lube works woneders
By George Mills_Cherry Hill NJ on Monday, November 20, 2017 - 11:56 am:And your problem is ???? 
By Eric Sole - Barcelona area (Spain) on Monday, November 20, 2017 - 12:41 pm:Steve, that looks and sounds like the same Klaxon 8C that I have on my car. Some years back it started acting like yours so I cleaned the armature with 600 sandpaper, cleaned and lubed the bearings, cleaned the horn switch and the ground. It got a little better but still no joy.
What fixed it was resoldering the + wire to its terminal (where the horn switch wire is attached). The connection looked OK but I finally did this since everything else gave no great improvement. Now it just AOOOOGAAs its little heart out, even without the engine running at speed and charging.
So, there you have something to try if "all else fails".
By Steve Jelf, Parkerfield KS on Monday, November 20, 2017 - 12:56 pm:The ground was fine. Cleaning the armature may have helped a little, but it was already pretty clean. A few drops of 3 in 1 really made the difference.

By Tim Eyssen - Abilene TX on Monday, November 20, 2017 - 01:46 pm:Steve: Keep adjusting the little screw on the back till you get the sound you want.
By Frank Harris from Long Beach, CA on Monday, November 20, 2017 - 02:03 pm:That proves it, the squeaky horn gets the oil.

By Fred Dimock, Newfields NH, USA on Monday, November 20, 2017 - 08:12 pm:Sick?
Take two aspirin and call in the morning.
If you can’t call in the morning you were too sick to help.
By Peter Claverie, Memphis TN on Monday, November 20, 2017 - 08:41 pm:I went into the big Ace hardware store in Taos NM and asked where I could find 3 in 1 oil. The clerks behind the counter had no earthly idea what I was talking about. So I asked where the WD-40 was, and that they knew. Right next to it - big as life - was both the old faithful 3 in 1, but also 3 in 1 brand 20 weight motor oil, which was what I really wanted. Sad.
By Tom Lovejoy, So Cal on Tuesday, November 21, 2017 - 12:53 am:very good Steve, sounds a lot better now
