Where is the fuse for the horn of the Chery Eastar?
3 Answers
There are two fuses for the horn of the Chery Eastar, one in the engine compartment and the other above the clutch pedal under the steering wheel. Function of the fuse: The fuse is commonly referred to as such, but its actual name is 'circuit breaker.' Its main function is to blow when the circuit current is abnormal or exceeds twice its rated current, thereby protecting the circuit. Chery Eastar: The 10 upgrades of the Chery Eastar further enhance its business positioning. The new front grille and optimized rear visual effect make the car appear more grand; new features such as automatic wipers, automatic xenon headlights, long-range remote door locks, noise-reducing tires, and user-friendly reading lights well reflect the business characteristics of the Eastar. In addition, the steering system has been recalibrated, and a chassis reinforcement plate has been added to the engine compartment, further improving vehicle performance.
I remember last time when my friend was driving a Chery Eastar and the horn wasn’t working, we checked the fuse location together. Usually, it’s in the fuse box under the dashboard, specifically behind the instrument panel on the right side of the driver’s seat. You need to open that small cover first, which has icons or labels indicating which fuse is for the horn—often a 10-amp or 15-amp fuse labeled as Horn. If you can’t find it, refer to Chapter X in the owner’s manual—it details all the fuse locations. Remember to turn off the engine when checking, and use tweezers or a special tool to gently remove the fuse to see if it’s blown. If it is, replace it with a new one of the same specification. Don’t force it out yourself to avoid damaging the wiring. It’s not a difficult task; just ten minutes can get it done, saving both money and hassle.
I've been driving an older model Chery Eastar for several years and have encountered the horn issue a few times. The fuse location is mainly under the dashboard on the driver's side, near the door pillar. Pull off that plastic cover, and you'll see a diagram indicating the horn fuse, usually in position 15 or 20. When doing it yourself, bring a small flashlight for better visibility to confirm the fuse isn't blown. If replacing it doesn't work, it might be a problem with the horn itself or the wiring—I've experienced similar situations before, and it was only resolved after visiting a repair shop. Driving domestic cars daily, such minor issues aren't frequent, but addressing them promptly can prevent bigger troubles. I recommend regularly checking the fuse condition—don't wait until something goes wrong to scramble for a solution.
