2022 GT2 AWD 20K miles - the horn has been wonky lately occasionally losing the lower tone horn but still getting the higher tone and then being normal. Go to hit the horn the other day and nothing. Been a few days and no dice. Any ideas of why the horn would die. Never had a car, despite its age or condition, lose its horn. WTF?
 
it's bound to be a connection worked loose. always check for loose connections before moving onto failed hardware.

Any idea where the horns are located in the engine bay?

I never looked for them. no gearhead here. this would be a sleuthing job for my mechanic.
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
I imagine somewhere under hood/grill area?
Good lord...gotta remove the front end assembly to get to the horns....one on each side.
 
Yup, bumper has to come off, they are right below the headlight by the inside edge.
 
No way to get at it from underneath with the front lower engine cover removed?
 
Losing your horn is a critical failure in TX. Must have your horn and both middle fingers working.

TX has been getting bad ratings from bad driver surveys and they deserve it.

Bozos who hit the brakes going up hills, ride the brakes in traffic yet don't slow down. Passive aggressive pickup drivers who fasten themselves to your bumper if you dare to turn into the fast lane on interstates even if you're over the speed limit. Have to punish you for delaying them. Driving WAY too fast in parking lots. I could go on. Don
 
Happened to me on my previous car, a VW Passat. They both died after about 8 years.

It's really not that bad to pull the bumper off.
 
My passenger side horn stopped working. A couple weeks ago I hit it while cleaning the steering wheel and it sounded off and I thought it was weird. Here are a couple photos from KGIS (for 2019 Stinger but probably still the same for newer ones) so you can see where the horns are at.

Somehow I really doubt that unless you're experienced in doing such things, then I'm a believer. Don
i've done it. 4 or so screws on the front of each wheelweel, the 4 clips on the bottom cover, and 2 or 4 bolts/screws on the top black part, then the connector for the PDC and the radar. the hardest part is making sure you have somewhere soft to put it down so you don't scratch it.
 
Happened to my 2022 GT2 as well(just noticed that you posted at the end)
