It sounds like a low voltage situation that could be caused by dirty connections or corrosion. The horn button would be suspect.

Is your new horn the correct voltage for your system (i.e., 6v horn on a 6v system)?

Best regards and good luck

What exactly did you change...the horn or the button?. If you changed the button then
your problem could be either a dead battery or a 6volt battery trying to sound a 12 volt
horn.
If you changed the horn then perhaps both horns are 12 volt and your battery is 6 volt or
nearly dead. Another possibility could be that both horns were defective and need to
have their "points" adjusted or the wiring from your horn button to your horn is diverting
current in another area.
