In case a pedestrian suddenly appears on the road at a certain distance from your moving vehicle, it is not only possible but also necessary to use sound signals. You must also use the claxon in other cases, for example, in order to warn other road users of a possible collision or hit with a pedestrian or with another car. Don`t ever use the sound signal to call someone from the building, to require to open a gate or to accelerate the motion of a car moving next to you, if it is delaying a maneuver.

Outside the settlements the sound signal should be used, if you want to warn of overtaking another vehicle. The way of warning chosen by the driver depends on who is he going to warn: if the driver of another vehicle, the claxon should be pressed several times; in order to capture the attention of a pedestrian or a cyclist, the driver should submit several short signals. To avoid scaring anyone, the sound should be made at a distance and not very loud. A powerful and loud signal horn is necessary in order to ensure the safety of the driver and the passengers when traveling in different road conditions.

An appropriate and timely used sound signal will help to avoid accidents. The signal horn can prevent hitting a pedestrian. Sound signals, which are installed in the car at the factory, often do not meet the owners` requirements nor in frequency of sound, either in volume. And when buying a car, each of us strives to equip it with modern items and maximum comfort.

In our online shop you will find the largest selection of sound signals for every car. Choose the one you like most, place an order and we will deliver it to you as soon as possible. In addition to signal horns, you can also purchase oil level indicators, steering knuckles or flywheels.

What you need to know about horn replacement: lifetime limits, common defects and their signs, tips and recommendations

Electric horns have no certain service life limit and are replaced in case of contacts corrosion, short circuit, mechanism jamming, winding burning out.

Component defects signs are absence of horn sound at pressing the switch or spontaneous activation of the device. The back-up signal (on cars where it is structurally presupposed) stops functioning in case of defects in the same way. If there’s no sound at horn activation but the relay click is heard, it means that the cause of defect lies in horn terminals oxidation.

Components diagnostics lies in voltage measuring with the help of a multimeter. You need to connect the multimeter to device contacts and compare readings with the acceptable values.

For component replacement you need to disconnect the negative terminal from the battery and remove the radiator cover. Sometimes bumper demounting is necessary. Then you should disconnect wires from the signal outputs, unscrew fixations of the horn bracket and demount the defective component. Then install a new horn and return all the parts into their places in the reverse order.
