Looking down the front after removing the headlights, you
can see the stock horns. I pulled the connector off to use
as a signal for the relay. |
|
|
I spliced the wires, so the stock horn will activate the
relay for my new horns. I also used the radiator support to
run wires over to my battery |
|
|
The radiator support is a great wire conduit across the
front of the truck. I used a heavy gauge wire as a pull
line. |
|
|
The signal from the stock horn powers the relay. Then, a
heavy gauge wire sends power to the new horns directly off
the battery. These wires run through the radiator support.
|
|
|
Here's the relay during testing. All wires are wrapped for
protection. The relay is grounded to the main ground point
next to the battery. |
|
|
The main feed for the new horns is encased in flex pipe for
further protection. The horns are grounded to the frame
using their mounting brackets |
|
|
The Hella horns hang upside-down on the front of the frame
rails. This was the best protected spot I could find without
putting them inside the engine bay. |
|
|
I added electrical tape across the connectors, so water
would not get in the horns. |
|
|
The horns sit behind the air dam, directly under the stock
horns. This should allow for better sound without exposing
them to the elements |
|
|
The relay installs next to the one for my off-road lights. |
|
|
The main ground is to the left of the relay. Don't forget to
put a fuse between the battery and relay. Keep it as close
to the battery as you can. |
