Try backing the nut off some if not then you will need a new one.

Lets make sure we are talking about the same part. It is a horn looking thing mounted on the firewall behind the engine.Some have a nut in the middle and some have the plastic. But it should unscrew. Try unscrewing it some and see if it makes noise again.

i think we are talking about the same thing.... the nut came undone, at this point there is no more note... i have no stock nut... i only have a makeshift adlib nut.. it works but the sound is weak... not very effective...

please advise...

thanks

That is called the Horn/Siren. It shouldn't be that expensive.(Not sure though)

It is metric. Most like either a M6 or a M8 thread.
