4. Installation
The NEOGET car horn is designed for universal fit on most 12-volt vehicles. Some OEM vehicles may require cutting and splicing of wires if the horn connector is not compatible. Always ensure the vehicle's power is off before beginning installation.
4.1 General Installation Steps
- Locate Mounting Position: Identify a suitable location on your vehicle, typically near the front grille or bumper, that allows for secure mounting and clear sound projection. Ensure there is enough space for both horns.
- Remove Existing Horn (if applicable): Disconnect the wiring from your old horn and unbolt it from its mounting bracket.
- Mount New Horns: Use the provided bracket kits to securely mount the new NEOGET horns. Ensure they are firmly attached to prevent vibration and damage.

- Connect Wiring:
- Universal Fit: If your vehicle's horn connector is compatible, you can directly plug in the new horns.
- Cutting Installation: If the connectors do not match, use the provided 5.5-inch horn wires. Cut the original horn wires and splice them to the new horn wires, ensuring proper polarity. Insulate all connections with electrical tape or heat shrink tubing.
- Test Functionality: Once wired, reconnect the vehicle's power and test the horn to ensure it functions correctly.

Safety Note: Always ensure proper electrical connections to prevent short circuits or damage to your vehicle's electrical system. If unsure, consult a professional mechanic.
5. Operation
The NEOGET car horn operates like a standard vehicle horn. When the horn button on your steering wheel or control panel is pressed, the 12-volt electrical signal activates the horn, producing a loud, clear, and penetrating sound up to 128 decibels. The kit includes both high and low-tone horns, which work in conjunction to create a fuller, more effective warning sound.

6. Maintenance
The NEOGET car horn is designed for durability and minimal maintenance. Its construction features:
- Waterproof Upgrade: The horn's 360° seamless sealing edge design provides enhanced waterproofing, protecting internal electrical components from moisture and ensuring stability.
- Quality Materials: Powered by a copper coil for good conductivity and low heat, ensuring a stable sound and long lifespan. The vibration plate features electrophoresis coating to prevent rust.
- Tungsten Contact: Utilizes a 0.03-inch thickness tungsten contact, contributing to an average service life of over 80,000 activations.
Regular cleaning of the horn's exterior with a damp cloth can help maintain its appearance. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

7. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your NEOGET car horn, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Sound:
- Check all electrical connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
- Verify that the horn receives 12V power when the horn button is pressed (use a multimeter if available).
- Inspect the vehicle's fuse box for a blown horn fuse and replace if necessary.
- Ensure the horn is properly grounded.
- Weak or Distorted Sound:
- Check for any obstructions around the horn's opening that might be dampening the sound.
- Ensure the horn is securely mounted and not vibrating excessively against other components.
- Verify that the horn is receiving adequate voltage. Low voltage can result in weak sound.
- Intermittent Operation:
- Inspect wiring for loose connections or damaged insulation that could cause intermittent contact.
- Check the horn button or relay (if applicable) for proper function.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, professional assistance may be required.
