Three kinds of methods to solve the problem of car horn

The horn is a frequent use of the device while driving, if the speaker fails, it will be very difficult when driving. Sometimes honked the horn, the sound is very hoarse, and even a little voice at all. We need to use the Auto Diagnostic Tool timely detection, we take a look at how the horn works. When the horn button is pressed, the battery current will flow through the loop on the horn relay solenoid, solenoid relay attract dynamic contact switch is closed, current will flow to the speaker place. Electromagnet current work inside the horn, so that the diaphragm vibration sound.

According to the author's experience, many faults related to the speaker, problems arise fault is often the horn itself . Especially flawed speaker installation location of some design, when it rains very easy make the speaker wet in the rain, causing damage to the speaker. When the speaker does not ring, common failure parts are nothing more than 3 points, that horn itself, horn switch contacts and horn line, when a fault occurs can be used Launch X431 GDS or Launch X431 IV GX4 tool to check the following steps:

(1) sometimes does not ring. Press horn switch, if the horn is sometimes loud, sometimes does not ring, mostly inside the horn switch contact contacts well, some of them are horn itself.

(2) voice hoarse. Mostly due to poor contact plugs, especially the various contacts around the steering wheel, as a result of frequent use, easy to make contacts to wear.

(3)Completely does not ring. First check to see if the fuse is blown, then unplug the speaker plug, use Autel MaxiSys Pro MS908P or Autel Maxidiag Elite MD702 tools to detect whether horn switch is electricity. If there is no power, check the horn and horn relay harness; if there is electricity, it is the speaker itself is the problem, then you can try to adjust the adjusting nut on the horn to see if sound, if still does not ring, you need to replace the speaker.
