What is the reason for the Baojun 360's horn not sounding when locking the car?

Issues with the horn itself, replace the new horn, poor line contact, adjust the lines. Reasons: Issues with the horn itself, replace the new horn, poor line contact, adjust the lines. If the horn is pressed for a long time, it can easily cause the horn contacts to burn and create impedance, weakening the current flowing through the electromagnetic coil, reducing the electromagnetic suction force, and preventing the armature from driving the diaphragm to vibrate normally. Solution: Poor switch contact, you can turn on the headlights, press the horn to open the handlebar at the horn button, dry it with a hair dryer, and check if the soldered wire ends have fallen off. Open the protective cover at the horn to see if the horn connector is loose or fallen off.
I've been driving the Baojun 360 for a while now. Last time I locked the car, the horn didn't make a sound, and I almost thought the key was broken. At first, I thought it was a minor issue and ignored it, but later I found out this problem is quite common. There could be several reasons: the horn itself might be aging or have oxidized contacts; a blown fuse is the most common cause, as it can overload when the locking sound is too loud; a short circuit or loose wiring can also interrupt the signal; or the body control module might be faulty, preventing the signal from being transmitted. When I checked, I started with the fuse, and replacing it fixed the problem. If it happens again, I recommend using a multimeter to test the voltage and avoid tampering with the wiring yourself to prevent bigger issues. Paying attention to these details during daily use can save a lot of hassle.
As someone who often helps friends with car repairs, I've found that the horn not sounding when locking the Baojun 360 is usually due to an electrical circuit issue. The first thing to check is whether the fuse is blown—it's the key component that protects the circuit. Secondly, the horn coil may be burned out or have poor contact. Short circuits or open circuits in the wiring can cut off the current. If the remote signal fails to reach the body control module, the horn will also remain silent. I've used a multimeter to measure the voltage path to pinpoint the source of the problem: start with the easiest fixes first—if replacing the fuse doesn't work, check the horn's condition, and only then test the module's input and output signals. It's advisable to wear insulated gloves during DIY repairs to prevent accidental short circuits from affecting other systems. Regular maintenance can help avoid such issues.
