What to Do When a Mercedes Horn Gets Waterlogged and Sounds Muffled?

[LorenzoRose]

The best way is to open it up and let it air dry, allowing the water inside to evaporate naturally. Otherwise, prolonged exposure may cause circuit short circuits. Here is some relevant information: 1. Solution: If there isn't too much water inside, remove the horn, drain the water, and then reinstall it. Be careful during reinstallation to avoid losing any parts. Use a hairdryer to heat the horn, causing the water inside to evaporate. Once the water has evaporated, the horn should return to normal. However, if the horn's diaphragm is damaged due to water ingress, the only solution is to replace it. 2. Identifying a Flood-Damaged Car: Look for excessive signs of work on seat covers, carpets, door panels, and other interior parts, as well as uncleaned mud in some hard-to-reach areas. Circuits and wires that have been soaked in water are prone to issues, with copper wires inside the circuits likely to rust and wire insulation showing significant aging.
