- 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 alert other drivers to your presence or encourage an animal to move out of the road? No matter the situation, your Nissan's Horn is one of the best ways to alert animals, cyclists, and other motorists about potential hazards.
The majority of modern Nissan vehicles use an electric Horn to produce a loud honk when you apply pressure to a button. In most cases, this pressure-sensitive panel is located on the front of your Nissan steering wheel.
Your car's horn may go haywire or become damaged with a collision, poor driving habits, or overuse! Typically, if your Horn sounds weak or muffled, you may have a damaged horn on your hands, which calls for a complete Horn replacement part. In other cases, a malfunctioning car horn may be a sign of electrical issues which will require electrical inspections and repairs.
If you've determined that the Horn itself is at fault, replacing it with a new, genuine part is vital. Not only does your Horn help you communicate with other drivers, but a working horn is a legal must-have in many states. Depending on where you live, your Nissan may not meet inspection requirements if your Horn isn't in good working order.
Unless you're an experienced at-home mechanic, we recommend visiting your local Nissan experts for Horn service and repairs. If you choose to replace the Horn yourself, make sure you get an authentic replacement part from Nissan Parts & Accessories. As with most part replacements, you'll want to park your vehicle on a flat surface and turn the engine off, letting it cool before doing any work. Then, unplug the battery cord connecting your auto battery with the frame of the vehicle.
Locate the horn assembly by referring to the owner's manual. Undo the power cord connected to the back of your current Horn and unscrew any bolts securing it to the assembly, putting them somewhere safe for later use. Remove the old Horn and insert your new, genuine replacement, putting all screws and connections back into their original place. Last but not least, test the Horn by restoring the battery connections and honking! Once your Horn is working and honking, give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done.
