What is the size of the Vitara horn?
2 Answers
The size of the Vitara horn is 6.5 inches. Below is some extended information about the horn: 1. The horn is the audio signal device of a car. During the driving process, the driver can issue necessary audio signals as needed and according to regulations to warn pedestrians and attract the attention of other vehicles, ensuring traffic safety. It is also used for urging movement and transmitting signals. 2. The car horn produces sound through the vibration of a metal diaphragm. The car horn consists of an iron core, a magnetic coil, contacts, an armature, a diaphragm, etc. When the driver presses the horn switch, current flows through the contacts to the coil, which generates a magnetic force to pull down the armature, forcing the diaphragm to move. The movement of the armature causes the contacts to disconnect, interrupting the current and causing the magnetic force of the coil to disappear. The diaphragm, along with the armature, returns to its original position under its own elasticity and the action of the spring plate, and the contacts close the circuit again, allowing current to flow through the contacts to the coil to generate magnetic force, repeating the above process. This cycle repeats continuously, causing the diaphragm to vibrate and produce sound. The resonance plate is rigidly connected to the diaphragm, making the vibration smooth and the sound more pleasant.
You asked about the Vitara horn size. I've been running a repair shop for over ten years and often help car owners with this. The Vitara's horn is usually around 6.5 inches, depending on the specific generation and model. The latest models likely follow this standard too. Size is crucial as it affects volume and clarity. When replacing, measure the mounting holes accurately to avoid a wasted effort. I recommend using OEM or branded parts like Bosch, which are heat-resistant and less prone to burning out. Another key point: don't just replace the horn—first check the circuit fuse and relay, as short circuits are common issues. Regular dust cleaning prevents clogging and extends lifespan. If upgrading the size, avoid jumping to 7 inches or above to prevent power overload and wire damage—safety first. DIY isn't hard, but have the right tools ready to avoid hassle.
