Use wire to briefly connect the horn directly to a known good battery. If it sounds investigate horn switch, wiring and horn relay if present.

The horn of your Nissan Pathfinder 98 doesnt work properly it sound irregular when you press the horn button?

Could be a bad horn, bad relay or possible a bad horn ground. Try touching a wire straight from the battery (+) to the horn. If it sounds bad you need a new horn but if OK it's probably a dirty ground or bad relay. Try tightening the horn itself down a little to insure it's getting a good ground. Still sounds bad its probably the relay. Replace it. If none of this helps... a bad steering wheel switch maybe? Hope this helps.

Fuse, bad horn, loose wire, bad horn switch, or loose ground at the horn. Check the fuse, apply 12 volts directly to the horn, tighten the horn bracket, check the wiring, and this will eliminate 4 possibilities.
