Where is the horn installed on the new Elysee?

[MatthewRose]

The horn of the new Elysee is installed in the middle of the bumper and the middle of the rain gutter. The causes of Elysee horn failure are: Poor contact of the electromagnetic coil terminal, insufficient insulation treatment of the enameled wire on the terminal or unreliable crimping of the rivet can easily cause a virtual connection failure, resulting in poor horn operation. This type of failure is due to the quality of the horn and cannot be repaired, only replaced with a new part; insufficient battery charge can also cause horn failure; poor sealing can lead to moisture. Although the inside of the horn is sealed, if the sealing is not tight, fog can enter during car washing or there is water vapor in the internal space, which can cause the contacts to become damp and fail to work properly; horn damage. If the headlights are bright normally, but there is no sound from the relay when the horn button is pressed, the horn may be damaged and should be replaced or the fault eliminated; contact burning. Pressing the horn for a long time can easily cause the horn contacts to burn and produce impedance, weakening the current flowing through the electromagnetic coil and reducing the electromagnetic force, making it unable to attract the armature to drive the diaphragm to vibrate normally, resulting in a hoarse sound or even no sound; contact wear. A hoarse sound is mostly caused by poor plug contact, especially the various contacts around the steering wheel, which are prone to wear due to frequent use. Car horns are classified as follows: Car horns are divided into air horns and electric horns according to the sound power; they are divided into cylindrical, spiral and basin-shaped according to their shape; they are divided into high-pitched horns and low-pitched horns according to the sound frequency.

The horn of the new Elysee is typically installed at the front of the engine compartment, specifically behind the radiator grille or inside the bumper. From my experience handling many similar cases, this installation method is primarily designed to ensure the horn can sound promptly in emergencies while also providing heat dissipation and protection. If you encounter a non-functioning horn, checking its location is crucial: first open the engine hood to inspect for dust accumulation or loose wiring. The position might be concealed, requiring the removal of some protective panels for visibility. Regular light cleaning of this area during maintenance can prevent oxidation and short circuits, thereby extending the horn's lifespan.

When I first got my new Elysee, I was also curious about the horn's location. Later, I found it positioned on the driver's side in the engine compartment, usually tucked behind the front bumper gap. Checking it myself was straightforward: after opening the hood, look towards the radiator to spot a horn with a metal or plastic casing. If locating it proves tricky, referring to the user manual's diagrams is more convenient. I advise new car owners to handle with care—avoid yanking wires to prevent damage. The horn placement is designed with crash protection in mind, and replacing it can enhance performance.

The horn is installed at the front of the engine compartment of the new Elysee, usually near the radiator or inside the bumper. The position is cleverly chosen to avoid interfering with other components. When inspecting, prioritize ensuring the engine is cool and wear gloves to prevent scratches. A clear location makes it easier to find, and safety comes first—don't attempt to replace parts recklessly.
