What to Do When Car Horn Gets Wet

[Toni]

Here are the best solutions for a wet car horn: 1. Open and Air Dry: Allow the water inside to evaporate naturally, otherwise prolonged exposure may cause circuit shorting. 2. Remove the Horn: Promptly detach the horn to drain the water, preferably using a dryer to thoroughly dry it. 3. Precautions: Always remember to prevent high-pressure water jets from wetting the car horn during vehicle washing. Below are extended methods to effectively prevent car horn water ingress: 1. Install the horn at a higher position with a 60-degree downward tilt angle. This position is universally recognized by car owners as optimal because it not only prevents water entry but also allows any water to drain naturally without accumulation. 2. Waterproofing: Secure a high-quality waterproof board (or standard plastic board if unavailable) between the bumper below the horn and the space in front of the left front wheel to effectively block wheel splash. 3. Simple Solution: The most straightforward and widely-used method involves covering both upper and lower car horns with ordinary stockings to effectively prevent water ingress.
