Styling Air horns

[jamie86]

I know this topic has prob been done to death....

But was just wondering if I get a musical one and KEEP the original horn it'll pass the MOT and be legal right?

Obviously seperate switches for each.Lol

 

[gaz.d]

i would imagine it would, just switch off musical one come MOT time and wire it up properly, you dont wanna blow you ecu do you

 

[jamie86]

Quick question do you know how u blew your ECU so that hopefully i don't do it as well.lol

 

[gaz.d]

yeah, dont connect horns direct to battery they need to go through something, if i knew what the something was i would of done it

it also doesnt help keeping your hand on the horn for most of a 3 hour journey to skegness

 

[jamie86]

So any ideas what they need to go through?
Am worried now

Just a Relay???

 

[gaz.d]

i would imagine if you used the orginal horn connection it will be ok, but for some reason mine wouldnt work, so conencted it direct to battery, it did go through a relay though, but it still managed to fook it up

i have no horn at the mo cause i have left them disconnected until i can find out what to do

 

[jamie86]

It's a bit crowded on my battery at the mo with 2 amp power cables as well.lol gonna have to take a look at it all when i get some time

Cheers Gaz

 

[gaz.d]

just have 1 amp cable and distribution box

Just what you need! A horn that plays La Cucaracha when you beep someone for nearly hitting you

 

[jamie86]

Hence keeping the original with seperate swiches

Well just ordered some "Dixie" one's....Whats that cheap tacky, nasty and a waste of money....Yep sounds good to me

I was gonna wire up my musical air horn straight to the battery using a push button switch in the car, and keeping the fog horn air horn as my my main one(wired up through exsiting horn cables)

Maybe i wont be doing that then.

the air horns i had on the bravo ran to a push button - i thought it was much better than i switch and the standard horns still ran as usual
