Reasons why the horn keeps sounding after locking the Besturn X80?

The prolonged use of the horn switch and relay causes the switch to separate. Dimensions of the FAW Besturn X80: Length 4620 mm, width 1820 mm, height 1695 mm. In terms of size, it is positioned as a compact SUV model. In terms of exterior design, the Besturn X80 retains some design elements of the Besturn X concept car, with a distinctive overall design.

I've noticed that it's quite common for the Besturn X80's horn to keep sounding after locking. The reasons are mostly due to issues with the anti-theft system, such as doors or the trunk not being fully locked, micro switches getting stuck or malfunctioning; a short circuit in the wiring could also cause the horn to be triggered by erroneous signals; it could also be a control module failure requiring a reset or replacement; additionally, unstable battery voltage can disrupt the anti-theft function. As someone who enjoys tinkering with cars, I recommend first quickly checking if all windows and doors are tightly closed, ensuring the trunk is properly latched, and cleaning any dust off the sensors. If that doesn't help, it's best not to delay and take it to a professional shop for a computer diagnostic to avoid causing a disturbance at night and getting complaints, as prolonged issues could affect other electrical components.

I've seen this kind of fault many times when repairing cars. The horn keeps sounding non-stop after locking the car, which may stem from several aspects: the door latch not being securely engaged causing false alarm of the anti-theft system, the trunk sensor being overly sensitive, or poor line contact leading to a short circuit; battery issues are also common, with low voltage causing system confusion. It's simple to check yourself: first, close all doors and the trunk tightly, then try locking again with the key; check if the battery connection wires are loose; simply move the switches to observe the response. If it still keeps honking, go to the 4S store immediately. The technician can quickly locate the source with a diagnostic tool, and the repair is fast, avoiding safety risks.

I always emphasize driving safety. If the horn of the Besturn X80 keeps sounding when locking the car, it indicates an abnormality in the anti-theft system, which may be caused by a leakage or short circuit hazard. Additionally, excessive power consumption can drain the battery, making it impossible to start the car. If this situation occurs, pull over immediately and do not move the vehicle. Check whether the doors and trunk are securely locked, and try manually resetting the system. If the issue persists, contact a repair technician to prevent minor problems from escalating.

I had a similar experience with my Besturn X80 where the horn suddenly kept blaring after locking the car, which gave me a headache. The possible reasons could be dust in the trunk micro switch causing poor contact, making the anti-theft system think it's open, or a system software bug occasionally acting up. First, try cleaning the contacts or disconnecting the battery for a few minutes to reset. If that doesn't work, go to the after-sales service immediately. Don't skimp on regular maintenance.
