How do you fix a reverse horn in a car?
My car has a reverse horn feature for when I’m backing up. While it used to be annoying, I don’t mind it anymore. However, I just realized it’s no longer working. What’s the easiest way to fix a reverse horn in a car?

Even though some safety features are annoying, having a reverse horn is helpful to prevent accidents.
The easiest way to fix a reverse horn in a car is to check the horn relay and the fuse.
If you have a blown fuse, you’ll need to replace it to get your horn working again. Similarly, you can easily replace a broken horn relay.
Another option is to open your hood and find the reverse horn. You can try cleaning the components to see if that’s causing the issue. If cleaning doesn’t work, you can also try replacing your horn.
If you don’t feel comfortable performing any of these options or replacing the horn yourself, don’t be afraid to visit a
mechanic
. They can likely diagnose and repair the problem much faster without the headache. If you need to save money on repairs, consider using the
