Default horns?

i was installing extra horns on my truck today, and while on the drivers side horn i disconnected the connector to figure out which was the signal wire, and when i hit the horn i realized i only had one horn working. do these trucks have 1 horn? on all data repair site it shows there is 2 horns on these trucks.

They all have 2 horns. However, they've had lots of water intrusion problems that short one horn or the other. Years ago, GM came out with a bulletin to revise the mounting angle of the horns, and install a water shield over the horn opening. But it still kept happening....

My truck only had one working horn for a couple of years, and it always bugged me. But I was too lazy to do anything about it. Eventually, it started blowing the fuse, so a couple of months ago I bought a new horn from Napa(less than half of dealer price) and fixed it. At least they're easy to replace.

trucks never been to the dealer, so idk, i find it odd that it only has one horn, not too worried about it since i managed to score some horns off a mustang from work.
