+Nick Janson, I cannot reply to your comment for some reason but you have to evaluate the situation. I dont know if a hammer will work because that chrome bumper is heavy duty but give it a shot because you have nothing to lose.
Alright man, thanks for responding!
ChrisFix the car battery is charged for it and regards 🏣🏠
ChrisFix nice vids mab

How do u do it with a Holden Colorado 7??
A Catchier Name
I love how your GT changed in all of these 5 years
Me: horn stops working
Also me: installs train horn instead
This is what I legitimately want to do
Police has entered the chat.
There after popping up on my suggestions list for two years straight I finally watched it. I don't need my horn fixed but I watched your video anyway. Happy now chrisfix.
HI Chris. Great video as always. You would be surprised at how many times I have seen cars that had bad horns and the repairs followed your example rather closely. One thing about the horn relay. If you hear a click, that only means that power is getting to the coil. The contacts are checked by checking the voltage as you did earlier. In my experience, if you get voltage to the connector, the relay is good. If you get a click and no voltage, the contacts are bad. And if you get no click and no voltage, it might be the relay but can also be the fuse or horn button. Its always good to see the younger generations understanding cars as well as you do. Keep up the good work! -Still keeping em running at 61
And how do you fix the dead dude at 5:35 ?
lol, dead dude?
someone's legs :D
+ChrisFix there's someone's leg there lol
Thats the guy he ran over because he couldnt hear the horn loud enough, LOL!!! jk
Lol yeah what's up with that?
dang, even on a 6 year old video chris still comes and replies to comments! keep up the good work!
I knew one of the horns was dead on my Toyota Avalon but I couldn’t find the dead one. It turns out someone tucked away the harness in the bracket and there was no horn there in the first place. I now installed a new one and it works great. Thanks Chris!
Beautiful coverage
Simplicity, I love & appreciate what you doing man. Nice work.
***** Thanks! Glad the video was helpful!
Awesome dude. I have to fix my horn on my expedition. Oh and thanks for responding so quickly
This video just saved me a bunch of money. Much appreciated!
No problem
@@chrisfix doesn't work on to the 2012 to 2014 Nissan Versa
@@GladiatorGladiator2023 yeah because he used a 2000s Chevrolet Trailblazer
this vid helped me big time. i thought i needed a new horn on my camry after this vid i checked the fuses and found that my fuse failed put a new on in and now the horn works perfectly.
chrisfix videos are so high quality the only way i can tell the difference is he is more here's how you do it kinda guy and isn't really that enthusiastic and (forgot to mention the iconic blue gloves which are missing) now he has found out how to blend both of them together like bread and butter.
I solved my issue by cleaning the contacts with 5.56, great video as always Chris!
Great job.....love all your videos 👍👍
hey Chris i have been watching your videos recently. man all i got to say is that way to go Chris.
Thanks a lot Yarade!
will be checking my horn tomorrow thanks Chris for the good videos.
Replaced my low tone horn as well.but went for cheap and ended up getting sent another high tone horn(510).still used it as replacement...now they are uniquely annoying.Success!😁👌
Thanks Chris. Helpful video as usual.
Love yer vedeos! Keep em commin!
Great info. Thanks Chris
Nice work Chris! You're a NATURAL!
+Patrick PhippsPA Thanks Patrick!
Good detail, well done!
Thanks for the tip Chris👍👍👍👍👍👋
nice work bro🔥👍
Thank so much Chris you are the best
Really good video :) help me a lot. Thank you.
Very good simplefy explanation, thanks
Chris fix you should put a La Cucaracha horn in your car!!
sounds just exacty like my '18 Chevy Trax just now. Much Appreciated!
I enjoy your videos Chris. Too bad there are so many arm chair mechanics that always have a better way to do it.
Oh man this was awsome I swore the guys that sold my girl her trailblazer swapped the horn on her just to be cheap with a small car lol so glad it's just an actual fix lol
now. we just need one for every cord on a piano and a muscly talented passenger and a freeway that's all "jammed" up :D
Chrisfix, not many people make videos for Olds Bravada. By far my favorite mechanic channel!
Thanks!
Back when chris was less energetic, I literally expected to hear the "hey guys!!" In full energy😂
Great video
I like your videos your teaching us to fix a car
More replacing horn than fixing horn.
Was curious as to how you were going to repair horn coil but Good vid for do it yourselfers
very great video!
My 2017 Toyota Corolla SE with a 6 speed manual transmission came from the factory with one wimpy little flat horn that wheezed its beep. I bought a pair of Wolo horns similar the ones in the video, followed the instructions for adding two horns to a one-horn car, and now it goes HONK!
So much better.
Awesome, thanks for the video!
***** Thank you! Glad the video was helpful!
Wow great work i replace it with my 2006 Chevy Trailblazer LT thanks a lot hope you make more videos for Trailblazer.
Soundtrackize Awesome! I have a bunch of Trailblazer videos!
Ahhh... the good old days of when Chris Fix was monotone and wasn't as enthusiastic xD
great videos, very helpful
Usdiuadn Njsknadk Thanks! Glad that my videos are helpful!
Good video!!!
I replaced the wimpy stock horn (high only) in my 2001 hyundai elantra with the dual horn setup from a BMW E38 (7 series).... loved that upgrade. was easy to do, pretty cheap, and sounded way better. I sold the car later on... kinda miss it in some regards.
chrisfix you're the best car TH-camr I saw
+Dee Man thanks
2014: Fixes someone's Trailblazer
2020: Buys a 2005 Chevy Trailblazer
Nice, Chris. It looks like the hardest part of the job was teasing the horns out from the engine bay.
Yea but even with that I really cannot complain. The job was very simple!
hi Cris, can you make a video of how to fix a steering wheel horn.
BTW, i really like your video, helps us a lot and a new subscriber here.
Thanks :)
Good video.
hi chris, your videos are very usefull, didi you make video like single horn to double horn install?
Great explanation
aseralhezn Thanks! Glad the video was helpful!
Very Good!..
I couldn't tell in the video, but what do you set the multimeter to test the voltage going to the horns? I don't feel like mine are as loud as they should be because the same pair on a different car sounds a lot louder so I'm not sure I'm getting the correct voltage. But I do want to test the circuit out just to be sure, I just don't know what to set the meter to.
Viper Jay 5 You set the volt meter to 20dcv. That will ensure you are getting the correct voltage. If you have the correct voltage, then you should make sure you are getting the correct amount of amps (using an amp-meter).
I am coming from future and would like to tell you that Chris will have a lot more tools and will sound happier in 2017 😀
Can u please do a rear differential carrier Change or swap... I really need help with mine and I can't find any videos to help me with it and u have really inspired me to become a machnic and be more comfortable working on my own vehicles
Thanks for the video idea!
The days when Chrisfix used to upload every two weeks 😂
Quality over quantity
@jm4 gaming
Lol
He might be running out of TH-cam ideas because of how much he's done
Love your videos dude, but the aftermarket horn I purchased had different leads or connectors on the replacement part.. that halted the project. I guess I'll tackle that on the weekend along with the tie rod ends.
hey chris I found out about my hot engine starting problem, if you remember me, I had the 01 b3000. the problem was fuel injectors leaking down. just wanted to let you know and thanks for trying to help me out!
Great! Glad you found the problem! And thanks for the update!
Lmao I can’t help but imagine someone getting in the car and honking the horn while Chris repairing it. I know that’s bad, but it’s also really funny.
Watching these videos is how i figured out how to get the door panel off and get to the driver side main window switch on my 99 ford explorer.... So today i got the window lock switch to working just by taking it apart cleaning it. Now it is making good conection and my passengers can roll their own windows down.
Dear Chris, have 2001 bravada. There's air filter housing & windshield washer reservoir located where you are working on this video. Battery is on passenger side. Can't see horns. But can tell there right near windshield washer reservoir or behind. Do I have to remove washer reservoir or air filter housing? Having same issues. Soft high tone, no low tone. Please, any advice would be helpful.
thanks bro
You mean how to replace not fix.Thanks for the video.
Perhaps then it should have been titled "how to replace a car horn" ???? Enjoy your videos though !
Hey Chris have you tried installing an after market horn like BOSCH Europa? I am planning to upgrade my car's stock horn. Hope you can upload a video for this. You are very helpful for someone like me that likes DIY. Thank you so much
Chris ,great shows.I need a soft ride on my Honda Pilot.What shocks and struts would u recommend and y.Currently I have kyb front and back?ty
I got a 2013 f150 ecoboost, and the fact my horn had a stock high pitch horn didn't sit right with me... especially since it's a full size truck.. was thinking to get an aftermarket horn with a deeper sound. But after listening to this, I'm certain it's just the low horn that's bad. I'll test it out before making the purchase!
When there's a screw on the back, screwing that in slowly while powered may cure it. It adjusts the contact breaker. Tune it for max volume, or purest tone. your preference.
hey do you know anything about the 2002 Lincoln LS? like a slight hesitation sometimes when pushing on the gas. and also a suttle rumbling when idling when the ac is on?
A good practice before doing a continuity test is to check the multimeter by touching the leads together and verifying a reading of zero ohms.
Horn works, try your brakes
Brakes work, I just replaced them!
That's an old saying . Like, honk if your horny
Hahaha, ohhhh. Sorry, I never heard that one lol!
LEFT TURN SIGNAL.
Hi
Nice, easy peasy.
This worked great on my 2001 Pontiac Firebird
Chris I have a 2011 Navigator. My horn only works when alarm is activated but not on the steering wheel. Fuse is fine. Does the truck have two different horns for alarm and steering wheel? If not do you suspect a bad contact switch in steering wheel?
I'm assuming this would also work for a Saab 9-7X since that is also based on the trailblazer. It's crazy how many cars GM built off this platform.
+Zachary Adams correct, it will be very similar if nothing else!
like it chris maybe you can teach me
saab liked doing things differently from gm, and they wanted to be somewhat set apart. this arguing led to their closure.
Zachary Adams i
Nice... you can add one more tip ....check the clockspring (it was my case).
*LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MAN*
Chrisfix need ur help
Please i have scross in which i have replaced the stock horn with trumpet horn on the same wiring harness but there is an issue the horn sounds randomly at certain intervals at high speed run why is it so??
Great video ChrisFix, I really like the editing and the continuity you provide for this type of DIY video it works really well.
Would you consider doing a video on how you make your videos for youtube? There are many of us who would like to film different types of 'fix it' vids but hesitate on the technical aspect. Do you write a script? How do you prepare and how do you edit so flawlessly without making it look crappy like I see others who have good intention but fail because of the presentation.
Thanks
Hey criss, do you have a video were you check the power windows system and how to repair them for this exact vehicle (02 - 09 trail blazers)??? I'm up to my neck with mines.
Back then Chris fix’s intros sounded like he just woke up, now he has more energy in his intros haha
Coz he has more money in his bank account now... Lol
May God bless him more...
Hi i have a question. I have a pair of piaa superior bass horn and fiamm triple trumpet air horns wired on 2 relays with a 15amp fuse for the 2 relays directly hooked to the battery. Is the fuse size alright or do i need to up it to a 30 amp one?. Thanks
Hey man great vidoes. I have a 08 dodge avenger. You wouldn't happen to know where the fuse is for this car would you?
Back in the days where your voice recorder sounded difrent and i was 8years old thank you for all your help i mean im still 14haha so i cant ride car but still your awsome
Your videos are very precise
I'll always feel like I can do it too afterwards.
Chris, I have an 08 Honda CR-V and the horn goes on by itself. What causes this?
Hey ChrisFix. I can't seem to find any relevant video that shows how to diagnose the ABS system. When I purchased my first car, I didn't really pay attention to the ABS. I realized that one of the past owners must of taken out the light on the ABS from the dash so it will not turn on if it goes bad. During the winter I tried and tested it on the snow to see if I even have ABS by doing a hard break. The ABS did not turn on or engage. I'm convinced that My car does not have the ABS working. I think something might be disconnected or could be something else. Have you done anything that covers this? I'm not sure exactly where to start, but would like to work on this for the summer.
Hi Chris, I hope you can make a video, if possible, of a work around on sticky horn pads in an airbag setup. If possible. Thanks!
Omg. Be c a r e f u l ......
Great video, I would assume this would be the same with a 2008 Ford Edge? Thx for sharing.
Somewhat similar.
ChrisFix thank you and thx for all the great videos you share
Hey Chris. My 2011 Ford Ranger has only one horn and it doesn't sound very good. Can I add a second horn to it to give me a better over all sound. What do you suggest. Thanks
Chris do what kind of ratchet are you using I’m curious
Chris, is there a way you can do more Trailblazer videos? i have a Buick Rainier and i need help with it
Jonathan Ortíz ok
Great video. Q: I have a 2018 Kia Rio with a single tone horn. I want to remove it and install an aftermarket high+low horn like the one here. Is it safe on the relay, fuse and the alarm system since the dual tone will draw more current and what should I do?. Thank you.
this is How to replace not How to fix ,,, but good video thanks ,, always watching your videos
+Alzaabialzaabi thanks
It is fixing it. What is broken is replaced therefore fixing the problem. There are different ways of fixing things.. just my 2© have a nice day.
Alzaabialzaabi ok
Could you possibly make a tutorial on how to change the horn on a 2000 Ford Expedition
Chris ... its actually resistance check that you just did in the there. Continuity is some thing where in the multimeter beeps when there the circuit is complete. The reading you got on the display is 0.08 ohms thats the resistance of the coil in the horn assembly.
I have a auto 93 Silverado ....I changed the horn from steering wheel to the floor like a old style dim light switch it’s a rubber weather seal momentary switch .dont have to take my hands off the steering wheel ....it’s magic.
Please tell me is it possible setup more horn to make more noise.. i already have 2 so if i Setup more it will work properly??
And give me more sounds
Hey do you know to change your ac compressor bearings on a 2006 legacy
