- Helps you communicate with other motorists on the road
- Can become damaged due to collisions, electrical issues, aggressive driving, or overuse
- Required in many states and may not clear inspection if not working properly
Want to communicate with other drivers or encourage deer to move past your headlights? No matter the circumstance, your Nissan's Horn is one of the best ways for communicating with animals, cyclists, motorists, and pedestrians on the road.
The majority of modern Nissan vehicles use an electrically-powered Horn to produce a loud honk when you apply pressure to a button. Typically, this pressure-sensitive button or panel can be found smack-dab in the middle of your steering wheel.
Your car's horn may go haywire or become damaged with a collision, overly-aggressive driving habits, or excessive honking. Typically, if your vehicle's Horn sounds weak, you may have a damaged horn on your hands. The part itself will need to be replaced. In some instances, a seemingly damaged Horn may point to electrical problems which will require electrical inspections and repairs.
If you're certain that the Horn is to blame, getting a new, authentic replacement is crucial! Not only does your Nissan Horn help you communicate with other drivers, but having a working horn is legally required to pass your yearly inspection in many states. Depending on where you live, your vehicle may not clear inspection if your Horn isn't functioning properly.
Unless you know your way around cars and tools, it's advised that you visit your nearby Nissan experts for Horn diagnostics and repairs. If you decide to DIY your Horn replacement, start by getting a Nissan-made replacement from Nissan Parts & Accessories. As with most part replacements, you'll need to find a flat space to park your vehicle and turn it off, letting it cool before doing any work. Then, unplug the battery cord linking your Nissan's battery with the frame of the vehicle.
Check the owner's manual to find your Nissan horn assembly. Unplug the power cord that connects to the back of your current Horn and undo any screws securing it to the assembly, setting them aside for when you install the new part. Remove the old Horn and insert your new, Nissan-made replacement, securing all screws and cords back into their original spots. Last but not least, reconnect the car battery to the vehicle and test the horn! Once your Horn is working and honking, give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done.
