Old horn had wires cut and no plug. I spliced plug from junkyard and plugged in. Horn sounded weak. Removed and a little water came out of bell. Replaced with junkyard horn and sound is now really good.

Should the direction of the bell be considered to minimize water accumulation? What would that direction be?

Old bell was facing up and that might be why there was water inside!

Hi,

You should position it down so it doesn't get water in it. Is everything working properly now.

Let me know.

Take care and God Bless,

Joe

Thanks. That's what I was thinking about the angle of the bell.
