Hmm...how many Horns do we have?
I was discussing this with Aaron Cake. It seems that I have 3 of them (bastardized 88 GXL 
) and he has 2 of them on his (raped 86 Base).
Was Mazda adding/subtracting Horns over the course of the build? FWIW, I have 2 above the Oil Cooler and one where It's now hitting my FMIC Intercooler. It's Infront of the Overfill Tank. We know that the alarm Is mono-tone as Is the Horn - so why 3 of them?

Exactly how do you justify this slightly ridiculous statement?Silverrotor, check out the pic on page 15-111 of the FSM Body Electrical chapter.

After spending some quality time with my 91 S5 N/A, I can say that mine had two horns. One hides behind the coolant tank above the bumper beam and the other below, though there is a tab for another one below. Mine has the factory security system, but it only worked the regular "upper" horn.
I replaced the dead one below with two loud (125 Db ea) horns and kept the stock one behind the coolant tank. Now when I hit the horn, people pay attention!

I seem to recall that when my alarm was going off incessantly due to it being broken, that it was louder than my normal horn. Any substance to this? How hard would it be to hook the third one up to the other two?

The very basics escapes me sometimes.
