Second Hand Nissan Cabstar Horn

Yes, the Nissan Cabstar is a light commercial truck and is fitted with a standard 12V electric horn as a legal requirement for road use across all variants and engine options. Whether you have a diesel single-cab or double-cab Cabstar, a horn will have been fitted from the factory. If your horn has failed, you can source a used replacement from a breaker quoting against your registration.

The Nissan Cabstar has been sold in the UK across two main generations: the F80 series (running broadly through the 1990s into the early 2000s) and the F24 series (introduced around 2006 and continued through to the end of UK sales). These are significantly different trucks with different wiring loom configurations, so a horn from the F80 generation is unlikely to be a straightforward swap onto an F24 — confirm compatibility with the breaker against your exact registration before buying.

No, the engine variant does not affect horn fitment on the Nissan Cabstar — the horn is an electrical component that operates independently of whether you have a smaller or larger diesel engine. Any horn from the same generation of Cabstar should be electrically compatible regardless of engine size or power output. Focus your search on generation and body configuration rather than engine code.

Trim level does not affect horn fitment on the Nissan Cabstar — the horn is a standardised safety component fitted the same way across cab configurations and specification levels. You may find minor differences in bracket or mounting position depending on cab style (single or double cab), so it is worth checking the physical mounting matches, but the trim grade itself is not a fitment variable. Confirm the cab type with the breaker when requesting a quote.

Both a 2010 and a 2014 Nissan Cabstar fall within the F24 generation, so there is a reasonable chance the horn and its wiring connector will be compatible. That said, there may have been running production changes during the F24's production life, so confirm with the breaker that the connector type and mounting bracket match your specific vehicle using your registration number.

Nissan used shared electrical components across several of their commercial vehicle platforms, so horns from other Nissan light trucks or vans of the same era may physically and electrically match — however this is not guaranteed. The safest approach is to source a horn specifically pulled from a Cabstar of the same generation, and to ask the breaker to verify compatibility against your registration before purchasing.
