Default Horn problem

It rained alot the other day & I hammered a large puddle pretty good & ever since my horn sounds like a Prius horn. It's super quiet & not manly anymore lol. Anyone know how to fix this or is it just a matter of waiting for it to get hot enough so that it dries itself out??

It won't dry out mines been toast about 2 months. You can try going out and hitting your horn for a couple minutes straight. Fixed mine for a couple weeks lol

Take it off and pour rubbing alcohol down it...and turn it around.... It will help evaporate the water... Then put some pb blaster down in it and let it roll around.... Will lubricate it...sounds weird for a fix but it works.
