    I have that problem on my old volvo... But it so cheap to the car so i change the hole horn that time.

    But if it sounds good when it works it looks to me that is is something electric.

    coolblue,

    As a possible suggestion to repair your horn problem, I don't think the problem is related to the electrics or individual components of the air horn. Remember, the Ferrari horn is driven by an air pump, and the assembly must have a way of sucking in air from somewhere before it can drive the horns. Check in your luggage compartment, ie., the front boot, and you should see a rubber hose protruding about 3/4 of an inch from the fender well. This is the air intake supply for the pump, and if you have things, such as towels, rags, plastic bags in your luggage compartment, perhaps the hose got covered, which would prevent the pump from injesting air.

    This has happened to me in the 512, and I removed the entire horn asembly to repair it, but to no avail. Then I discovered the air intake hose going in to the luggage compartment got wrapped up with some towels I had in the boot. Removed the towels, and the air horn works perfectly.

    Forza Ferrari

    My horn did not work on the Daytona, so I had to replace the cigarette lighter (of course).
