How do I fix my car horn?

I was behind a car at a stop sign, and they backed into me. When I tried to honk my car horn to warn the other driver a barely audible horn came out. How do I fix my car horn?

I’m sorry to hear your car horn is no longer working and could have prevented a dinger.
Fixing your car horn can be a do-it-yourself project so long as it does not require other parts.
Here is how you can fix your car horn:
  • Identify the problem with your horn
  • Open the hood of the car
  • Have someone press the horn
  • Locate the horn on the radiator core support
  • Remove the wire connector
  • Install the new horn
  • Test the horn and make sure everything is working properly
Once you’ve successfully fixed your car horn, make sure you have the
collision coverage
you need with Jerry.
