So my S80 is exactly one week out of warranty. Wife uses the horn yesterday and it is weak. Probably one trumpet is non-op. I see them under the grill. How does one access these? Don't tell me the entire bumper fascia has to come off!

    Not that bad, there are 3 clips on the bottom of the grille, one center,one left side,one right side,you get to them from the front..use a flashlite to get the idea, you have to push down and pull the grille to unlatch the clip..the grille will come out only about two inches..stop dont force it.there are 3 clips at the top, but you have to remove the 5 clips under the hood on the top of the grille front nose/bumper..push down the center pin just enough to remove these clips/fasteners..now you can pull the front nose forward to get to the grille top 3 clips..But i would replace the horn relay first, its quick and EZ to do, if you dont have a relay handy, swap it with one like it just for testing purpose, if the horn works fine, you know the relay is bad, buy one and dont forget to put the good relay back where you got it..

    If you can't reach them from under the car, then you would need to take the bumper off. The bumpers are not to tough to get off.
