horn is very easy... its 2 wires...
i have an air horn for sale for $20 if you want, used a bit but works fine..

comes with all the wiring for civic already so its plug and play

I wanted a air horn so bad, a deafining one, My ideal horn would of been a cruise ship horn, but later learned ud need a huge compressor and the horn itself was almost the length of my car, so my next settlement would of been a train horn, u can hear thoes pretty far away, again same problem, even a truck air horn would of been too big, so i bought one of thoes little air horns from CT, loud yes, but i instantly sounded like a coffee truck, which was cool for a week, then winter hit and the compressor cracked and was garbage, I know CT's got some other horns there that are really loud and not air powered so they wont break, don't know how much they are but ya are very easy to hook up on any car



but if u want a loud horn u need one of these

id check your ground wire, may have come lose from all the use

Pick up two horns, one an octave lower or higher than the other. Run them parallel.

ha you guys should hear my horn lol.. its embarasing.. could you use horns from basically any other car? i don't petecularily like the civic horn

sirhondalot

can i get these horns at princess auto? how do i fix it on a chrysler, any websites? wat wires do i need? do i jus take out the old one and jus connect it using those wires?

thanks

sirhondalot

where would the ground wire be? ill take a pic of the horn would that help?

The civic horn is downright embrassing, I flash my highbeams to get attention.

Are you comfortable taking off your bumper?

I don't see a horn going bad from overuse, the vibrations may have knocked off a wire.

sirhondalot

its not a civic horn, its my chryslers horn... would it be the same procedure, how do i do it on the chrysler?
thanks

There is only 1 wire. That is power. The horn is already bolted to your frame so ground is there.

You can use ANY horn you feel like using.

there are 2 one on each side of the steering wheel and 2 horns i located , so if i put a new one in would i have to mount it somewhere or are the airhorns the same size as the stock one?

did u check the fuse?

sirhondalot

where is the fuse, fuse box?

imported_bevboyy

Ok, I used to have a Chrysler. the two contacts in the steering wheel are wired in series.

Most wiring set ups for the horn are as follows:

momentary closure (switch)-------------FUSE-----------------Horn.

Ground is constant as the horn mount is already ground.

All you need to do is swap out the old horn with new one. If it don't work, swap the fuse, if still not then read on...

But are you sure it's the horn, or the clockspring unit inside the steering column that's not fubard?

Go to a wrecker, pull off a stock horn off the same car you have.

Swap it in. If it don't work then it's the clock spring module. Head back to the wrecker (with a steering wheel puller, a socket set with 19,21 & 22mm sockets, and a couple screwdrivers) and remove the steering wheel from the donor car, remove the clockspring module, and swap it in to your car.

It's really not that hard. Go to www.allpar.com - think there is a FAQ on that.

What is with civic horns lol. they are so high pitched, who would take that seriously eh lol. i think it sounds like a little baby car.
