There is no trick or mystery involved. A horn is a pretty robust unit, so there is not much that is beyond repair. Electrically, a horn is merely an electromagnet coil in series with a set of contact points. As the electromagnet is energized, it pulls a diaphragm inwards. The diaphragm pushes the contact points open, shutting off the electromagnet and relaxing the diaphragm to repeat the process as the points close again. The rapid oscillation of the diaphragm creates the sound we all know and love to hear.
To detect the malfunctioning in the car horn and eradicate it, you have to have adequate knowledge on the anatomy of car horn. Car horn has only three major parts: the body, the plate and the cover. The body consists of breaker points, adjustment screw, coil, terminals and terminal screws. If the horn is not working properly, there are two main faults behind the glitch. Firstly, horn may be misadjusted. Else, there is one or more oxidized connections. The coil itself is very rugged and it's not easy to burn it. So, there are instances that you don't have to take up car horn repairs programs. Many have two 6V horns on 12V system (Ghia) and they are not only functioning smoothly but working very loud, too.
