Hi there, I had a certain issue with water and my Bravo due to the flood, and trying to get home.I drove through water, and afterwards did get some engine light on, and the car did not want to turn off.So I disconnected the battery. The next morning, the servo was not working, also the abs, the electric windows did not want to go down or up if I pressed on the remote, and it did not want to turn off either.So I left it parked next to my house for two days without battery to dry off. Now everything works except the car horn.I checked the fuses and all are ok. No to the question, since I will probably have to change the car horn, I was wondering if any of you guys know where to get one as the one on this you tube video at 33seconds or at least tell me how you call it in English.
Also I attached the video of me driving across the water.It was raining the whole day so I took many pictures and videos.But I did not know that water where I drove will be that deep.
here is the video of driving


and the horn I want

 
An Emergrncy Services siren? :eek: Not legal here TBH but I dont know about in your country lol!

These seem effective & would do the job just fine!

Yes I meant the horn not the sirene...I really like the sound of that horn and I hate drivers who are not driving when the green light starts glowing and they just sit in their cars and look at them selfs in the mirror. Such a horn would give them a little nudge that they need.

The cute european folks on this forum will find that offensive but where I live you can't get anywhere without bossing other drivers around !
 
I reckon that horn is like the rescue services use in the USA. They are air driven at around 120lbs pressure requiring a reservoir tank mounted somewhere, so good luck in fitting one of those! :eek:
 
Good thinkin batman!

I want one of those ones Ferrari use on the 360, the really high pitched ones :D, I mean my car is 75% Ferrari anyway :D (ok maybe mine is more like 60% because i only have half a door handle but you know what i mean :D)

Lol! It's okay, I've been given permission =\... I reckon she's up to something. It's usually a "No!" as soon as I mention "Bravo" followed by "Spend" and "Please" lol
 
So what sort of specs does the horn that I want need to have?

Hit me with some technical jargon.
 
One of you guys was asking if the car got on fire at 20something seconds on the video while driving through water...well luckily it did not,although with some imagination it realy looks like fire. The service guy told me that taking of the clamp after the water gets in to the engine compartment is recommended since the water and all the electronics could make a spark and realy go up in flames. To my suprise when I turnd the egnition key and took it out the engine was still running. At first I let it run for ten minutes or so without tje key, as it did not want to turn off I tried with key again...no luck so I took of the clamp of the battery and called the Fiat garage where I service the car and he suggested the same thing so it would not get up in to flames....my poor poor Bravo. I realy love this car.
