The horn relay of the Qashqai is located in the main control relay box in the engine compartment. The function of the relay is to use small voltage or small current to control large current or high voltage. In terms of body dimensions, the Qashqai measures 4401mm in length, 1837mm in width, and 1593mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2646mm. In terms of power, the Qashqai is equipped with a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine featuring direct fuel injection technology and an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with a CVT transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 154 HP and a maximum torque of 204 Nm.
As a veteran mechanic with over a decade of experience, I'm most familiar with the location of the Nissan Qashqai's horn relay. It's typically found in the engine compartment fuse box - that black box near the driver's side. You'll need to lift the cover and check the circuit diagram on the back to locate the relay marked with the horn symbol. Having repaired numerous Qashqais, I can confirm both older and newer models place it in the same general area, though older versions might position it in the fuse box on the left side of the steering wheel. Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working, and use small tweezers to gently remove it - never force it if it's rusted or stuck. The relay itself is quite small, about the size of a fingertip, so don't confuse it with a fuse. If you can't locate it, consult the vehicle manual where it's clearly illustrated.
