Arrow H O R N -- P R O B L E M -- H E L P !!!

thanks you guys for checkin out this thread... I need help bad! I got a tripple air horn installed about 3 months ago, and it was workin great until, a couple days ago that when I pressed it for about 5 seconds it just stopped working...

i check fuse, connection, ground etc... and everything looks good, I cut the wire that goes from the steering wheel horn to the pos for the horn motor and I connected it straight to the battery + and it works... but when I connect it back to how it was, it doesn't wanna work watafak!

i change the fuse from the fuse box for horn, and that didn't work either, and I just wasted 7dollars from the fukin dealership, for no return no fukin exchange for electronic **** even if you just connected it for less than 20 secs...

anyway... you guys have any suggestions on how to get this thing workin... it's really tough with out a horn... thanks again guys I really appreciate it!

the stock horn is controlled by a relay in the fuse box in the engine bay since the contacts on the steering wheel cant handle the power required to activate the horn. you should hear a clicking sound coming from the fuse box when you press the horn. If not, thats your problem

If you know it works, then just get a fuse holder and run a new power to the battery

so horn button (steering wheel) to horn (you're using the original wire)/horn to relay/relay to power right??

not the oem one in the fuse panel (unless you're running the stock horn)..
but the one that probably came (should have anyway) with your after-market horn..

it did come with one right??
those after market horns usually suck up a lot more juice than the stock system can handle

i got the dual Framm horns and although it runs from the stock switch it comes with a relay that takes it's power straight from the battery
