Where is the horn located on a BYD?

BYD's horn is positioned in the center of the front bumper. Below is relevant information about car horns: 1. Function: The horn serves as the vehicle's audio signaling device. During driving, the driver can emit necessary sound signals as required by regulations to warn pedestrians and alert other vehicles, ensuring traffic safety. It's also used for urging movement and conveying signals. 2. Working principle: It generates sound by using compressed air flow to vibrate a metal diaphragm, hence it can only be used in vehicles equipped with air compressors. Typically installed in buses and heavy-duty trucks, especially useful for long-haul transport vehicles when driving through mountainous areas or curves, horn signals can effectively alert pedestrians and oncoming drivers.
The position of BYD car horns is generally in the front part of the vehicle, specifically behind the front bumper or on both sides of the radiator frame. Once when I was inspecting my car, I discovered these two small components while looking under the chassis. The low-frequency horn and high-frequency horn are usually installed together, and in some models, they might be hidden inside the wheel arches. However, it's important to note that the position can vary between different models. For example, the Tang series tends to have them more towards the center, while the Qin Plus positions them more towards the sides. To accurately locate them, it's best to have someone press the horn while you listen for the sound source near the front of the car, or directly remove the front bumper to trace the wiring. Avoid tampering with the wiring yourself to prevent accidentally triggering the airbag system.
Speaking of the horn placement on BYD vehicles, I've observed it several times during DIY repairs. They are generally located in the front section of the car, with two common mounting points: one fixed on the radiator support frame right behind the emblem, and the other attached near the crash beam, concealed behind the front bumper cover. The high and low tone horns are spaced about 20-30 cm apart. This design serves dual purposes: avoiding the high-temperature engine area while ensuring even forward sound dispersion. However, compact models like the Dolphin may position them more discreetly within the wheel arch liners. A friendly reminder: avoid directing high-pressure water jets at these areas during car washes to prevent damage to the horn diaphragms.
