I only know enough electronics to be dangerous so I'm wondering if we have any electrical technicians who might be able to help with something I've been wondering about.

My horn works perfectly with the engine off or at idle giving off the desired 3 step response; AHH OOOG AHH. But at road speed with the amperage (and voltage) up it runs too fast and only goes OOG AHH.

I'm wondering if a diode or something could be added to the horn wire that would limit the voltage to 6 volts. I've heard of a Zenner diode and an avalanche diode, but don't know enough about that stuff to figure out what might work
