Hey guys,

This might sound like a stupid question but, Recently I cleaning out engine and was checking everything out making sure everything is in place and good to go. But I found a little bit of a problem, There is a round plastic peace hanging by a wire in the inside front of my bumper. I'm 98% sure its the horn, but just want to make sure.

Also, If it is the horn how much do you think it will cost to fix it.

BTW its a 2004 Nissan 350z touring.

havesomeone hit the horn to see if thats it, is it broken? or just unmounted?

a generic replacment horn can be had for $10 at your local auto parts store, for the correct nissan horn who knows, but ptobably more

No horn is fine, That I know. If it is the horn then its unmounted and is hanging by a wire.

lol, the problem is you don't know if you are looking at an horn or an air bag sensor, do a google image searh or go to a parts store and look at car horns so you know what they look like

Ok, Went to a local Nissan dealership and confirmed that it is the horn, but there is a BIG problem. The mechanic pointed out that the horn had been rubbing up on the radiator and has caused a slight dent in the radiator and he said if its not tightened down soon it will crack the radiator and cause it to leak?

So now my question is, Is there any quick not so expensive fix for this?

Maybe duck tape? JK JK
