The different horn failures on a PEUGEOT 50 motorcycle

Its malfunction is generally linked to an electrical problem, sometimes due to a fault in the Battery.

If your horn no longer beeps or is very weak, several causes may explain this malfunction:

- The battery is not sufficiently charged: it supplies the horn with electricity. If it is broken, you will also have difficulty starting your vehicle and will no longer be able to use the various electrical accessories correctly.

- An error on the electrical circuit: if the cable ensuring the electrical supply is damaged, the horn can no longer function properly.

- The horn connectors may be oxidized or damaged, cleaning with sandpaper will remove the oxidation.

- An order problem: the order between the switch box and the horn may have a contact problem at the button, so this prevents the horn from sounding.

- The horn may also have burned out, replace it quickly.

- Very exposed to the elements and projections of all kinds, the horn membrane can be dirty. It can be cleaned with " WD40 ».
