Why is the Volkswagen Bora's horn not working?

It may be due to a broken power circuit of the horn. You can check the circuit to see if it is unobstructed or broken. If so, just reconnect the circuit properly. It could also be caused by poor contact of the horn button. Poor contact can also lead to the horn not working. You can inspect it and then repair the contact points. Different types of car horns: Car horns are divided into air horns and electric horns based on their sound power; they are classified into cylindrical, spiral, and basin-shaped types according to their appearance; and they are categorized into high-pitch and low-pitch horns based on their sound frequency. Reasons for horn distortion: This is generally caused by the amplifier's power being too high and the horn's power being too low. It could also be due to the horn's suspension coming unglued, the voice coil rubbing against the magnet, or issues with the voice coil itself.
I encountered a situation where the horn of my Volkswagen Bora wasn't working. First, check if the fuse is blown. It's located in the fuse box under the steering wheel. Find the fuse corresponding to the horn, and if it's melted, try replacing it with a new one. Poor button contact is also common, where dust gets stuck or the button gets jammed and won't press. Clean it to see if it can be restored. If the horn unit is damaged, the sound may become weak or disappear entirely, in which case the component needs to be replaced. Loose wiring connections often occur after driving on bumpy roads—check if the connections are secure or replace the cable. Voltage instability or relay failure can also cause unresponsiveness; you can use a multimeter to test current stability. I suggest starting with the simpler checks first and not rushing to spend money on repairs. If all else fails, consult a professional to ensure driving safety, as not having a horn makes lane changes or hazard warnings extremely inconvenient.
