Horn

[stockergt]

MY horn just took a S*** anyone know why. I would admit that I had never actually used it until someone really pissed me off.

My horn is out too... anyone ever fix this?

I tried a new horn relay, but that wasn't it. A few weeks back, when I wiggled the relay in the fuse box, the horn worked again... but now it won't. Seems to be a bad connection somewhere between the fusebox and the steering wheel.

Please keep us posted if you got'erdone...

the most annoying thing it I never needed the horn much... but once it doesn't work.. all the idiots are in front of me deserving a good honk...

 

[spleuba]

Yeah, mine is out too. It is not all of the time, however. Looking forward to a fix.

In VA, you can't pass an annual safety inspection unless the factory horn works. Train horns don't count, RT... :lol:

Naw. I take it to my guy for inspections. He just inspects the basics (brakes, emmissions etc) If he installed it he passes it. But I would still keep the factory one.

sure, train horns wont pass inspection, but they sure are fun. just dont get caught. in FL its like, a 5 point ticket. not good. lol

Ok - what are train horns?

Ive installed fiamm air horns in most of my vehicles. They have the sound that ferrari air horns make. Would those be considered illegal?

Train Horn - Horn from a train.

You need a compressor to run one, and for the most part cops will have just another reason to hate you. Pricey, but worth every penny.

 

[Rollin Thunder]

Just keep your stock horn running and have the train horn put on a seperate switch. I wanna have the stock horn put on a seperate switch though as when im angry I usually just Slam the steering wheel. LOL Then mash the gas :smilielol: yes just letting you know if any of you ever ride in my yukon, you had better drive. LOL

Well - I know there are a bunch of air horns on the market - and most have compressors - as do my fiamm air horns.

I would think that an actual "train horn" as you so described wouldnt fit under the hood of a tahoe. I happen to be a bit of a train person - and the horns that are used on the NJ transit trains here use a compressor thats the size of a couch.

So - Im thinking you dont mean a horn from a train. But rather one that sounds like a horn from a train.:lol:

is there a horn that goes "Ah-oooooooo-ga...."

 

[TahoeGoBoom]

is there a horn that goes "Ah-oooooooo-ga...."

a friend of mine wanted one. i think he actually found one too.... lol

 

[Rollin Thunder]

there is a horn. But i would never get it. I wanna put a cannon ball express on the silverado and a Dixie horn on the yukon.

 

[TahoeGoBoom]

it'll be hornblasters for me come next month. *hopefully*
cant wait to piss ppl off to the extreme....

 

[JP422]

jeez... I swear... Needed my horn again today (idiot pulling out of a driveway near hitting me)... and I'm in the truck punching my airbag w/ no sound... like a mute. =P

Doesn't go in the hood obviously, mount it in your frame. As for the size of the compressor, yeah, much smaller than what a train would use to run it, then again you aren't going to be needing a sustained or repeated bursts. You can get one that sounds like it, or you can can get the real thing and start modifying.

 

[JP422]

What are some ways to mount the new horn button? Do you use the power from the stock horns, or add an entirely secondary switch/relay? Where do you mount it?

POST SOME PICS!!!

It's starting to get dangerous not being able to honk at fools now. =P
