About a thousand!

Do you have a test light or voltmeter?? This will help a lot with troubleshooting.

First thing tho is to check all of the connections that go to it. Grounds included that are bolted to the frame. Give it all wiggle and see if you can get it working.

Mine also. Simply, it broken.
Really, it's very easy find out if the horn doesn't work or if you have some electric issue.
You need to check if the current comes to the wires when you push its button.
If I managed to do it, you can do it by yourself, too :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: .

Yes, check to see that you are getting power to the horn. I there is power getting to the horn and it is not working, then the horn is broken. If you need another, I believe I have a spare Paso horn in my spares box.

There is huge amount of car horns, what do same job. Only need to know power consumption/current of Paso horn. :thumbup:
