How to Distinguish Between High-Pitched and Low-Pitched Car Horns?
1 Answers
Methods to distinguish between high-pitched and low-pitched car horns are as follows: 1. By size: Generally, high-pitched horns are smaller, while low-pitched horns are larger. 2. By location: High-pitched horns are usually installed on the A-pillars of the driver and passenger sides inside the car, often molded into place; low-pitched horns are typically located under the vehicle seats or inside the rear door panels, with some vehicles or owner modifications placing them behind the rear seat backrest or in the trunk. Additional relevant information includes: 1. Poor sealing can lead to moisture: Although the interior of the horn is sealed, if the seal is not tight, moisture can enter during car washing or if there is water vapor in the internal air space, which can easily cause the contacts to become damp and malfunction. 2. Poor contact at the electromagnetic coil terminals: Some horns have aluminum metal rivet crimps connecting the enameled wire terminals of the internal electromagnetic coils instead of secure soldered connections. If the insulation paint on the ends of the enameled wire is not properly removed or the rivet crimps are not secure, it can easily lead to intermittent contact faults, resulting in poor horn performance.
