Feeble horn. - malgpz900 - 17-05-2015
I have just been informed by my other half that I have got a feeble horn.
I have a lovely loud pair of twin tone horns in the garage that I am thinking of installing within the engine bay. I know the existing horn is behind the front bumper on the nearside according to Mr Hayes, but can anyone tell me where the wiring for the horn runs, and if there is an easily accessible access point to take a live feed.
Many thanks,
Malcolm.

cant you use the live feed from the existing horn, if you are taking it off the car ????

I was not wanting to take the old one off if I can help it. Got to take the bumper off from what I can see. Need to spend some time having a look and decide the best way to do it.

OK...I did this a while back and the details are below.
NOTE: With a high current horn like the nautilus you absolutely must use a relay
don't even think about using the existing wiring straight to the new horn.
Instead use the existing wiring to power the relay and take a fused (25amp) feed
from the battery.
