Xc60 2012 awd d5. Horn!
Hi. Not had the car long and thought the horns tone and decibel level was rather "weak" for the vehicle!
Anyhow today I had to clear my path of some wandering sheep so I press the horn and WOW it sounded like a jugganout! a proper twin horn big sound etc Is there a sensor somewhere in the front screen that alters the volume and tone When a real hazard is in front? Later I tried the horn when parked, back to a weak toot😕 I did hit the center of the steering wheel hard for the sheep As said below it could be a bad connection in the steering wheel center Regards Last edited by Adrian B; May 2nd, 2021 at 21:04. |

Gosh I can’t see even volvo being that clever! I would suspect a dickie wire/bad connection personally. But always prepared to be proven wrong.😁

I think it should be a dual high/ low horn. One is faulty. So the connection to one of them I presume needs cleaning or the whole unit needs replacing. It's a 2013 model XC60 D5 AWD. How do I get to the single twin horn unit or does it have two single horns one on the left and one on the right?

I think you’ll find the horn offside front corner. IIRC.

Ok thanks. The weak horn noise is coming from the offside bumper area below the headlight. After some googling am I right to assume that to access the horn, remove offside wheel then remove wheel arch liner? Regards

I do believe that is correct.
