Horn

[trafficman337]

Hello Everyone,

I have a whopping 165 miles on my 2019 SHO. Last night was the first time locked the doors at a business and used the remote. The horn note is horrible. It sounds like something out of a 1955 Ford, not a 2019. Is this the normal note or is this a dealer trip? Seriously, the horn is embarrassing and was just wondering if anyone else has this issue.

For 2019 one horn was deleted. This was relaid to the dealerships via SSM 47664. You can go to the dealership and have them compare to another unit.

If you want it fixed, I bet a 2018 or earlier horn can be retrofitted.

Thanks so much for the quick reply. I will call my dealer tomorrow and see what they can do. The dual note horn would be so much nicer. Good Lord. Why mess with something like a horn?

Did anything else change on the 19 other than the non-electronic telescopic column and rear window shade delete?

I have a 19 and agree, the horn sucks. I honestly thought one of the horns was not working. I was going to the dealership today to compare when I saw this thread
