If the horn does If the horn does not work properly, disconnect it and then measure with a not work properly, disconnect it and then measure with a multimetermultimeter
that the horn is that the horn is not broken. Set the multimeter to the not broken. Set the multimeter to the ohms range, and connect itohms range, and connect it
between the H1/ A1 and H1/A2 terminals. The value should be ~4between the H1/ A1 and H1/A2 terminals. The value should be ~4 Ω.Ω.
Normally the horn creates voltage peaks that may cause problems to other Normally the horn creates voltage peaks that may cause problems to other electricalelectrical
devices. To prevent these voltage peaks, a diode (V8 in devices. To prevent these voltage peaks, a diode (V8 in the circuit diagram) is installedthe circuit diagram) is installed
