Third Party Horn

Topic starter

Does anyone have any suggestions on a easy to assemble / install third party horn with its own button that I can either connect to a fuse or the battery?

 

My steering wheel push button broke and I don't feel like taking out the airbag, etc.

Unless you're looking for an ah-oogah or wolf whistle horn why not just hook up a button switch inside to the stock horn?

 


@chucktobias Sorry to sound dumb. But is there an easy way to do that in which could be explained about the button switch? Im a total newbie.

Basically you would run a new fused circuit from the battery, using a suitable inline fuse, to a button switch placed inside the car and from there to the horn. (You did not state what kind of car you are working with but particularly on modern cars you don't want to add anything to the existing wiring, add your own circuit instead.)

You could get fancy and use a relay but if you use decent sized wire that should not be necessary since the horn is normally only used in relative short bursts.

If you do an online search you'll find multiple instructional videos.
