Maybe it's because your MINI found out that your MCO name is "PONTIAC" !!!

I would check the fuse. Being that the Mini has dual horns (nice! I was fearing a little beep-beep kazoo job) it seems odd that both should go out. If one horn is shorted, however, it will blow the fuse and the good one won't sound.

Not being around my car at the moment to check, it is most likely in the fuse panel to the left of the footwell. If not there, then it's the box under the hood.

Fuse 28 (15 Amp) in the footwell. Good luck.

What does the horn sound like? I don't think I've used it. Is their an aftermarket one that makes me go faster? If so I'm in.
