Where is the horn located on the Volkswagen Tayron?

The horn on the Volkswagen Tayron's steering wheel is generally located inside the front wheel bumper. Introduction to the horn: The horn is the vehicle's audio signal device. During driving, the driver can emit necessary sound signals as required and regulated to warn pedestrians and alert other vehicles, ensuring traffic safety. It is also used for urging movement and transmitting signals. Horn maintenance: Regularly keep the horn's exterior clean and ensure all wiring connections are secure. Frequently inspect and tighten the horn and bracket mounting screws to ensure reliable grounding, as the horn's mounting method significantly affects its sound quality. To maintain normal sound output, the horn should not be rigidly mounted; instead, it should be fixed on a buffer bracket, meaning a leaf spring or rubber pad should be installed between the horn and the mounting bracket. Regularly check the generator's output voltage. Excessively high voltage can burn out the horn contacts, while excessively low voltage (below the horn's rated voltage) will cause abnormal sounds. When washing the car, avoid directly spraying water into the horn opening to prevent water ingress and malfunction. During horn maintenance, pay attention to the positions of metal and insulation pads to avoid incorrect installation. Continuous horn use should not exceed 10 seconds to prevent damage. Do not insert any foreign objects into the horn to avoid abnormal sounds.
I previously encountered a horn issue with my Volkswagen Tayron. The horn is located at the front of the vehicle, behind the radiator grille and bumper. Once after a rainy day, the horn stopped working. When I opened the hood, I found that some water had gotten inside, causing a short circuit. The location isn’t hard to find—just lift the hood, and you’ll see it straight ahead or slightly to the right, usually a black or silver cylindrical unit. I cleaned it myself, reconnected the wiring, and it worked fine again. This positioning is designed to facilitate sound propagation while protecting the horn from damage. I recommend regular checks to prevent dust buildup or water corrosion. Replacing the horn is also simple—just buy the compatible model and screw it in place. Overall, the location is practical but requires attention to protection.
