What Causes a Motorcycle Horn to Sound Hoarse?

[AlainaMarie]

The reasons include: insufficient battery charge; burnt or poor contact of horn contacts; slight rupture of the diaphragm; incorrect gap between contacts or between the iron core and armature (either too large or too small); loose screws fastening the horn cover or horn bracket screws. Below are other common faults: Intermittent horn operation: The causes of intermittent horn operation are loose or poorly connected wiring terminals, oxidized or burnt button contacts, unsecured ground spring of the steering wheel horn, or oxidized/dirty contact points leading to poor grounding. Sudden horn failure: Sudden horn failure is typically caused by broken power wires to the horn, burnt relay contacts or excessive gap, overly tight spring, poor contact of the horn button, poor grounding, or burnt/open coil.
