Ok so today i spent some time in the shop and noticed something,my dads 41buick has two horns,and so does my brothers 70 le mans.

But I only have one horn,my dad and brother said i should have two.
Does anyone know if my 74 Satellite should have two horns?

I only took one off and there was only one wire to plug in one.

Back in the day my seventy three satellite came with a hi/lo dual horn combination (I added the rr horn when I threw on the bulge hood)

and the seventy four Sat Sebring I'm working on now came with the same set up. Neither horn worked, so they are trashed.

Whether that was a stock option or a regular set up, I couldn't tell ya.

My 71 Satellite Sebring has dual horns.

Yep, Satellites would get the dual "hi-lo" horns. Only Runners got the ONE purple horn... Um, black in '68...

What are you talking about,he said dual horns,dual means two.

Unless I'm absolutely WRONG, (which happens WAY too often

), your car should have TWO.

My base satellite has just one, but I think that there is wiring for two, I am not for sure though. I will check in the morning.

The Manual for the 1974 Satellite calls for horns plural. I've tried posting the schematics and the troubleshooting section for the Horns, but I'm not getting it to upload for some reason. There are two horns: a hi/lo combination mounted on the drivers side just behind the lights.

My horn was mounted near the condenser.
And i checked again today and there wasent wire for a second horn.

i wish more people took pics of their car horn setups

I mean that roadruners had one horn and satellites had 2. thats for 71 because I had both cars.

it's 2 mounted on the passenger inner fender (at least on my 71, which i'm assuming is pretty generic across the board...)i have both of mine but they aren't on the car...they work, but they're annoying and really loud. my factory harness has been messed with by several people over the years, so i don't know how they were even wired...maybe the wiring went to one and there were wires linking the two of them together instead of running separate wiring for each one...makes sense to me - less wiring to do, more economical, easier to find a problem.

Here is a picture of the drivers side horn on my 72 Satellite.

Here is a picture of the passenger side area were a horn might be, but is not present on my car.

I strongly believe that my base "RL21" came with just one horn.
