Did you know that the GLi and Futura are fitted with one low note horn and XRs, Fairmonts, Fairlanes and LTDs are fitted with are fitted with a pair of tuned horns. One has a high pitch and one has a low pitch.
Only just found that in the factory manual. I previously thought you'd of just had one horn but we live and learn. I guess on the upspec models that the left button does one horn and the right does the other. |

I know my Fairmont has two pads for horn(s), but don't all EF/EL steering wheels?

Yeah but I think the two buttons on GLis and Futuras operate the same horn where as on higher spec models they operate seperate horns.
I'm gonna check it out and see if I can tell the difference between the horn sounds. |

AFAIK They don't operate seperately. They 'play' together, resulting in a note that a singel horn can't make.

thats wierd. my futura has standard the 2 tone horns. i ditched em tho for air horns!
 the smaller stock horn is still hooked up so if smartlock donesnt work u can still hear that horn spasm it does coz the air horn compressor doesnt wind up enuf.
