No drill or cut air horn install
After almost getting hit after "beeping" my horn, I decided I needed a louder horn. I bought a set of Wolo air horns for $23, delivered.
The install went easy. I bolted the compressor to the support behind the grill, using existing hole.
I mounted each horn to existing holes, in the metal, that sticks out under the a/c condenser, using 2, angle brackets.
I mounted the relay with the orig horns bolt. Had to enlarge the hole in the relay for the bolt.
I removed the plug from the orig. horn, and modified a forked terminal (cut 1 prong off) to allow it to plug into the horn plug. On the other end of this short wire, I crimped on a female, spade terminal. (I flattened the terminal so it would grip the thin prong terminal in the orig horn.
I t'ed into this wire and ran it to the relay.
Then ran a ground wire from the solenoid to the orig horn mounting bolt, and a inline, fused wire from the battery "+" terminal bolt.
Then ran the 2 wires from air horn compressor to the relay.
No holes had to be drilled, or wires cut. It can all be removed if desired and returned to stock.
Hope this helps anyone out, who is thinking of a loud horn. It is quite loud!
I'd post pictures, but I can't see how to do it, without a link to my whole Photobucket library.
