Let's see what to do if the horn of your Volkswagen New Beetle is not working. The first thing to check is whether the fuse has blown.

The horn fuse is located in the cabin, specifically in the box on the outer side of the dashboard, next to the driver's door. If you open the pressure flap with a small screwdriver, you will find a diagram showing which fuse is for the horn.

It is the #40, 20 amp fuse, and you can easily remove it with the supplied tweezers. If it is indeed the fuse, simply replace it and the problem will be resolved.
