our '96 3500 has the same thing - no horn. The relay is clicking when you press the horn buttons, but no noise - AND I cannot find the horns on the truck, either. Looked all the usual places, front corners under and behind everything - no joy.

Anybody here that can tell me where the heck the horns are supposed to be? This truck is formerly a construction supervisor's rig, I'm wondering if they took the horns out!

Hello,

On my 97 the horns are located on the bracket that runs from the bumper to the frame on the drivers side (left side). This bracket runs at an angel from the frame out to the far left end of the bumper where it wraps around the fender.

mines been through so much mud it has killed the horn....almost. it sounds like some kid learning how to play the clarinet.

has anybody tried any of the big "train" style horns? are there any that don't require an air compressor?

Thanks, Scott, I'll look there tonight - though I didn't see it last weekend when my entire DAY was spent under the truck!

Appreciate your taking time to reply.
