Horn Replacement

[hawkeye18]

Yeah, the dark brown wire is fed off a 20A fuse, which goes to the high pitch horn first, then the other. So it's really only one wire - you just need to find the one that goes up toward the rest of the car, cut it off, put a connector tab on it and plug it into the horn. Then, run a wire from the horn's ground terminal and just screw it into the nearest piece of grounded metal... which shouldn't be hard, since they're right on the subframe 'n all.

You should use the horns from the regular Taurus GL, they are louder and deeper sounding than the SHO horns. I cant stand the sound of the SHO horns, too high pitched.. Sounds like a scooter.

You guys really think the SHO horn is weak? Sounds fine to me and I thought the GL had the same note.

Well then it's called a split... you take one line, and turn it into two lines, via a method of your choice. You can use scotchloks, though I wouldn't recommend that for a place that gets wet a lot like the horn area... you can use a 10ga inline crimp connector, and make sure you get the one that you can seal up with a lighter/heat gun. Whatever method you use to split the wires, make sure it's waterproof.

I really wanted to get peoples attention and I once hooked up twelve horns. It was SUPER loud. That was back in the day when i was a punk kid and I got a kick out of laughing at people. Then I realized it probably helped from hitting a deer or small child.

I put regular car alarm horn together with the regular SHO horn on my car. First second it blows, sounds like a police or ambulance, but not as loud and frequency is different , so you can't get accused of immitation. I would really like to put a police horn the one that they blow when they are trying to get through traffic(grumpy noisy 1 tone horn).

The air horn siren noise you're talking about is legal as far as I understand
so just get one of the little horn amps that just does the horn noise and no siren noise

That "1 tone" noise is actually a very quickly modulated 2-tone noise. But I agree, it is super effective.

yep, makes people drop their phones and start using mirrors and turn signals.
