Let's see what to do if the horn on the Volkswagen Tiguan doesn't work: first, check the fuses located in the engine bay: unlike the video, note that in the engine bay of the vehicle, the horn has a relay SB15 of 15 Amperes; then check the connectors of the horn, which are located behind the front grille; even a slight impact can disconnect a connector.

The problem could also be the clock spring located under the steering wheel, which transmits the signal to the horn button: if it wears out or breaks, the horn will stop working.

This operation should always be done with the battery disconnected!
