Adding a Air Horn while keeping the OEM Horn.
Permalink   
 

I'm adding a Air Horn setup to my car. I want to keep the OEM Horns operational, which the car uses for the alarm and such, while operating either horn using the steering wheel horn button.

Here's a pic of the Air Horn and compressor mounted before replacing the grill:

The main reason I'm posting is so that someone with more auto electrical knowledge can verify the circuit design that I've come up with so that the horns work the way I want them to.

Several things to note:

The Yellow wire coming from the Steering Wheel Horn Button is diverted to the Low Voltage Powered Relay Board as it comes down the steering column, before it goes to the CPU.

The Low Voltage Powered Relay Board, which I created, is simplified for the sake of the drawing. Here's a link to the LVPRB with more info:

Thanks for looking. Comments appreciated.

Have a good day.

Adding an air horn sounds like a cool idea, mate! It can definitely add some oomph to your ride without ditching the original horn. I reckon it's all about finding the right balance between safety and style, ya know? Personally, I'd say go for it, as long as it doesn't mess with the functionality of the OEM horn. Safety first, always! Oh, and if you're looking for some sweet air horn options, you might wanna check out bosshorn.com. They've got some wicked stuff that could fit the bill without breaking the bank.
