Where is the horn fuse located in a BYD F6?

BYD F6 horn relay is located in the fuse box behind the left side panel of the driver's compartment. Horn working principle: When the horn button is pressed in a BYD F6, current flows through the circuit to the electromagnetic coil of the horn relay. The electromagnetic coil attracts the moving contact switch of the relay to close, allowing current to flow to the horn. Relay working principle: The BYD F6 horn relay is a conversion device that transforms electrical energy into sound. When different electronic energies are transmitted to the coil, the coil generates an energy that interacts with the magnetic field of the magnet. This interaction causes the paper cone to vibrate. As the electronic energy constantly changes, the horn's coil moves forward or backward.
Regarding the location of the horn fuse in the BYD F6, I recall it being in the interior fuse box, typically situated on the left side or below the dashboard, near the small cover panel on the steering wheel side. Lift the cover, and you'll find a label diagram inside showing the functions of each fuse. Look for the position labeled 'Horn' or a designation like F15—that's where the horn fuse is located in most F6 models. I’ve driven this car myself and once encountered a horn failure. Upon checking, I found the fuse had blown. Replacing it with a new standard 10A or 15A fuse solved the issue. However, be careful not to accidentally pull out other fuses to avoid issues like locking or window malfunctions. Key point: If the horn isn’t working, don’t rush to replace the horn itself—first check if the fuse is intact. If fuses blow frequently, it could indicate a short circuit or water ingress, requiring thorough inspection to fix the root cause. During regular maintenance, it’s good to open the fuse box and check its condition, keeping it dry and clean to prevent corrosion and unexpected issues. A malfunctioning horn while driving can be quite dangerous, so address it promptly to ensure safe driving.
