Wuling Zhiguang's horn relay is located at the lower left corner of the engine under the hood. Here is more information about the relay: 1. The main relay of Wuling Zhiguang has a control system and a controlled system, which is used in automatic control circuits. It is an 'automatic switch' that uses a smaller current and lower voltage to control a larger current and higher voltage. 2. The relay plays a role in automatic adjustment, safety protection, and circuit switching in the circuit. 3. After the main relay of Wuling Zhiguang is engaged, gradually reduce the supply voltage. When you hear the relay release sound again, note down the voltage and current at this time. You can also try several times to obtain the average release voltage and release current.

Last time I helped my cousin replace the horn relay on his Wuling Zhiguang and ended up sweating buckets—until the mechanic gave me the crucial tip. The relays in this car are usually hidden in the fuse box under the steering wheel, specifically behind the plastic cover panel where your left knee rests while driving. First, remove two or three screws on the cover panel, then lift it to reveal a neat row of small square relays. You’ll need to check the wiring diagram on the back of the box cover to locate the relay slot labeled 'Horn.' Older models might have the fuse box in the engine bay, but under the steering wheel is the most common spot. Remember to disconnect the negative battery terminal before pulling the relay to avoid short-circuiting and frying other electronics. Also, while checking the wiring, I found that a loose wiring harness connector could also cause the horn to go silent—so just replacing the relay might not always fix the issue.

Last year, the horn on my Wuling Zhiguang stopped working, and I spent a long time flipping through the repair manual. The typical location is on the left side of the dashboard near the driver's knee area. First, you need to pry open that trapezoidal plastic cover—it can be popped off even without tools. Inside, there are five or six relays with blue or black casings. You need to identify the slot marked with a horn icon or labeled 'SB' on the cover. There are differences between model years; for my 2015 model, it was in the second slot from the far right. Before replacing it, it's best to use a multimeter to check if the relay is really faulty—it might just be a blown fuse. Be careful not to short-circuit other wires with metal tools during disassembly. Last time, I accidentally sparked it and got quite a scare.

Anyone who's worked on Wuling vans knows that the first place to look for the horn relay is the black box under the steering wheel. Lift that palm-sized plastic cover, and you'll see square components arranged like chocolate squares. First, locate the English "Horn" label on the circuit diagram inside the box cover—I often find it in the third position from the outside. Note that Wuling Zhiguang changed its relay layout twice: before 2015, it was on the right side of the engine bay fuse box, while newer models moved it to the cabin. If you still can't find it, pop the hood and press the horn button to listen for the clicking sound to locate the relay—that's an old-school trick taught by veteran mechanics.
