A horn quickie
 

Does anyone know if you can use either of the horns off the donor. I gather one is the normal one and one for the alarm.

Cheers

Depending on the spec and year you could have 3.

Use either of the two behind the front bumper. Both if you want a dual tone.

TT

On my donor there was two not sure if tgere for use as you described i thought they had seperate notes so you get the noise you get when someone cuts you up followed by the usuall gestures and swears

Darn, there was me thinking that this thread was going to be a bit saucy :o :o

Seriously though as Rob said, either of the one fitted behind the bumper will do, failing that any old second hand horn from the breakers should do the trick :)

I got one of these BadBoy airhorns for my Honda Civic. Got tired of having a wimpy horn. Now people are startled when I blow it. One piece horn and compressor. Easy to mount, I will get another for my roadster when the time comes.

Two horns dual tone,one high the other low and nice and noisy.

train horns? :D

Now that is what I would call a " Get out of my way " Horn :D

I can well imagine how high the IVA tester would jump when he tries the horn :eek: :D

youtube train horns theres one going around waking people up in the states quite funny

:D

just plug it in to your battery see if it works you need a positive feed and an earth for the horn to work and obviously the switch when fully wired

haha ye i know a guy who put some on his land rover, well he got 'angry' with an unmarked car and a right royal telling off followed so he had to bin them, illegal for road use apparently :o

Horny question 2
 

Thanks for that but I now have another horny question !!

The switch inside the steering wheel is for a switched earth which the donor does by relays or the alarm unit. I didn't intend to use a relay, but both of the horns have the body connected to earth. Can I use the horn push as a switched live or is this dangerous ?
Hope someone understands.

Cheers

Hi Peter

Adrian is bang on there :cool:

If the horns are earthed at the body ( Only have a single pin for the live )
Use the horn push wire to switch a realy as sugested.

Not a great idea to use a live wire for the horn push ;)

I am sure some bright bod will knock you up a quick diagram if you shoud run into any problems :)

Cheers Adrian
