How many horns in '97 OBW?

[Victor Roberts]

A few weeks ago my son drove my '97 OBW through some deep water during
a heavy rain storm. He did not have any immediate problems but about a
week later I noticed my car was overheating in city traffic on a
rather hot day. I traced the problem to a blown fuse in the
radiator/condenser fan circuit. I presume that the water got as high
as the fan, and the drag of the water on the fan blades caused the fan
motor to stall and blow the fuse.

I was out tonight and had a rare occasion to use my horn. When I first
pressed the steering wheel there was no sound, then a weak sound and
finally it got louder and stabilized at a reasonable level. So, I now
believe that my son also got water in the horn(s) and that problem was
not noticed until I used the horn tonight. The issue is that the horn
does not sound quite correct, but I don't use it much so I can't be
sure. It sounds like a single note and I thought that cars had two
horns with slightly different frequencies. It is too dark right now to
go looking, but was wondering if anyone knows if the '97 OBW has one
or two horns.

Should be two behind the grill, one on each side more or less. May be
a third back by the fire wall if you have the factory security system.
I don't know if the security system horn sounds when you tap the horn
button or not, but I suspect it does.

Looked and could only see one - on the right side of the car behind
the radiator and A/C condenser.
