im sorry... what?

you told a guy at a dealer about the horn and he said your oil was low? did you check the oil level after he told you it was low?

does the horn still honk when you turn left? or just that one time?

This thread is just bizarre!

Anyway.....could it be a short developing in the steering wheel area?

Was it a pulsing honking or was it full on all the time?

The oil level has nothing to do with the horn.

zoom, When the Honky Tonk Man uses his guitar, it definitely makes a Tonky Horn sound in his victim's head...

That dealer's levels...


iirc the horn is in the driver side wheel well area...jack your car up and take alook. See if something is being pulled or is loose.

Here is a guide on replacing your horn...follow it to make sure its all secure.
