Dude! I've tried so many different videos on this and i just so happened to search for "How to wire a relay for a Train horn and your video came up.Thank you so damn much for finally explaining this in an understandable and easy way.You helped Significantly.
Your awesome👍🏼 I watched tons of videos & still unsure of how to install an air horn. Then you came to the rescue....there’s nothing negative to say about your video. I got past your accent within the first minute of the video. I love the way you did a wiring layout to explain the connection & direction of wires. Videos with American accent were still very unclear to understand the instructions. FYI something I’m sure you already know....I would put an in line fuse from battery to pin 30. WOW, I didn’t know you have so many videos!! You saved me so many headaches hahaha🤪
It's so great I finally found your channel.you are a great teacher appreciate the way you explain things thanks once again for the efforts and for sharing this with us appreciation .u make saving time🇩🇰🤣👍🙏
Not just useless but plain wrong is correct!! I was just scratching my head over this for about 15 min until I realized that Harbor Freight couldn’t do something right no matter how hard they try. Nice vid! Thanks
I bought this exact kit off evil bay to and with the help of this video, i had no probs wiring it up today. Now my car is horny. Great video mate, thanks for your help. 2 thumbs up from Australia .
I used to have a corolla, the horn is very ... weak. I have a minvan now. Much better, but still nothing like an air horn. I wish I had kept the air horns I had in the corolla. I'm going to put some in.
I would use an empty freon tank as an accumulator for the pump for instant sound. There is a half second wait for the horns to start, and the accumulator would eliminate that wait time.
Don't understand pin numbers on air horn but will get it when horn arrives....good vid thanks a bundle.... Will use in line fuse and relay... Not sure what comes with it at mo......
Explained everything very good, details are good for most but some know it alls can just fast forward or dont watch at all if youre a genius, but as for me I say it was a great video
The one thing I remember with these horns, it's a higher pitch horn sound, normal sounding if you're from Europe but it doesn't make a deep manly US semi truck tone
Hope the video was good. If I buy one of these horns, I'll figure out the wiring myself. Times have changed, & setting through youtube commercials would be lame.
Is there a way to set this horn up to run from a power supply that connects to mains power? So that I can avoid the need for a battery pack? And have it constantly powered?
Great video I do have a question, I have this same air horns and I would like to replace the existing horns under the hood that have 2 wires each, with the air horns and using the steering horn button, their is a 15 amp fuse in the fuse box, can this be done and how. Thanks
Help please!!😢 I was just trying to install a GAMPRO 12V 150db Air Horn, 18 In, and it's not shutting off. I bought a separate switch that have a black and red wire, how do I connect the switch?
hello to were i have to connect the new switch/button that came with the kit i have an old switch/button that i wont use it .can u show me or explain to were it will be attached the + and the- of this new switch/button
No, I used a completely new circuit. I did try to use my old horn switch which is on the steering wheel but it burns the fuse immediately because the amp draw is too much. So I have to make a new circuit and install a higher amp fuse (20A) in it.
Stephen Lerch yes exactly. It only takes 200mA to throw a relay. If he's burning out fuses, he has it wired wrong. You would essentially unplug your old horn and plug it into 85 & 86. With FUSED power to pin 30. Any other questions mate, just ask.
As Nicholas stated it is quite simple. I literally unplugged my old horn and threw the live on 86 and the ground on 85. Not too sure why it would be a problem. I must add from 30 to the battery I put a 20amp (no idea if sufficient) fuse in and it works like a charm. Was quite nice not to have to wire new ends etc. Hope that helps.
It's simple once you know how :) - all I can tell you is that I've searched a number of videos and none of them relayed the message clearly, I guess as it was too simple to explain. I liked the video.
im not sure honestly im putting it on a scooter. i wired it up to the horn and it goes fine but ive done a lot of other electrical junk so im popping fuses TnT so i gotta upgrade my rectifier or something idk but i think i got it wired up fine idk TnT lol
Could be the pump. The pump has to pump fast enough air through the horns. If you don't have good flow of air through the horns, it will sound weak. There are a few reasons why this happens. Your pump might be defective, or your battery is too weak, or there's an air leak in the tubes.
It sound is always consistently low volume.. Battery is standard 12V from a VW Tiguan 2018 model - is that okay? Don't they all work with 12V car batteries?? I Checked the pipes and they are okay.. Do you think the compressor pump is just a crappy weak one then? Get a new pump and try?
Terminal 30 is from the + from the battery. 87 is to the + terminal on the compression. 85 & 86 are the terminals that ‘activate’ the power to the compressor, it doesn’t matter which way around they go. Every video on this topic is rubbish.
I died when he said “horny”
And then you resurrected to write this comment!
What you mean

And that he cheap 😂 funny dude

THANK YOU SO MUCH BUDDY! FINALLY A VIDEO THAT ACTUALLY HELPED ME AFTER DAYS OF TRYING!!! MUCH APPRECIATED! :)
Video was perfect. Was a big help. My air horn is very horney now. Lol thx again.
Skip to 7:25 for horn sound
Ben Crosbie -DAMN , THANK YOU !!!
You're the real MVP.
Ben Crosbie RIP headphone users.
Thank you very much
Very helpful you are a good teacher. Thank you again. Be bless always.
Best explained video for horn install. All other videos are not as detailed as yours. Thank you!!!

and with the help of this video, i had no probs wiring it up
today. Now my car is horny.
Great video mate, thanks for your help.

"Remme show you how to wire it togethrr" LOL great vid.
FANTASTIC, tHANKYOU BEEN LOOKING AROUND FOR HOW TO WIRE A RELAY AND YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD. BRILLIANT YOU HAVE A GOOD MIND TO DESCRIBE THANKS
Nobel reward for you.... TKS.
Excellent video explaining the wiring of a relay to operate the aftermarket horn.
With the accent and all I understood how to wired everything up better than other videos I saw lol and that simple image he drew right on 👌🏽 😂
Why did I find this video interesting I don’t know but great video!
Best video explaining the connection
I would use an empty freon tank as an accumulator for the pump for instant sound. There is a half second wait for the horns to start, and the accumulator would eliminate that wait time.
Show your video would like that it would be instent
Gracias después de durar 2 horas y no poder. Vi este video y me ayudó bastante THANK YOU

Will use in line fuse and relay... Not sure what comes with it at mo......
Thanks for your video, a great help, i'm about to install horns on my boat.
I must say, this is very well explained! Excellent!!

Thank you bro! Very helpful and easy to understand. Great job!!
I installed mine 123 thanks to this video. Thank you Sir!
If you want to know how to do it watch this vid. Does what it says on the tin. Thanks mate.😀
Great tutorial. Very detailed thank you will be installing one for my truck. Thanks again.
Pleasure.
"My Corolla's horn is not really horny"
I fucking lost it
Great video,explained really well
I thought it was me, I just got these horns and the diagram was doing my head in.
Thank you for this Video...MY Train Horn works great now...Hooked it up just like this video....awesome...very handy Info...
Wonderful vlog, Preserve the fantastic job. With thanks.
Awesome thanks
thanks I needed the electrical schmetatic
Hope the video was good. If I buy one of these horns, I'll figure out the wiring myself. Times have changed, & setting through youtube commercials would be lame.
Super helpful, thank you
Thanks man this really helped
Thanks a lot
I'm just waiting to hear this Corolla on the 280 lmao. Nice video man!
It has been there! :D
Absolutely brill, life saver. Thank you
Great job!
Great video. By far the easiest video I found to understand how to wire. Do you need a fuse in there somewhere.
Excellent thank you very much for this video,very well explained,best one on RUclips
Great video man! I just bought a cheap one at harbor freight and no instructions
Awesome video though thanks
Sharokis thats my dad thank you for being nice
Nice review. Thank you.
ping tirty haha lol your amazing
i notice that you did not use a fuse with your connection, what is your reason?
Is there a way to set this horn up to run from a power supply that connects to mains power? So that I can avoid the need for a battery pack? And have it constantly powered?
First one i understood not great but enough THANKYOU
Thank you help me so much Chinito
Gracias loco me sirvió mucho tu explicación
“My corollas horn is not really... horny”
good tutorial👍
what do you hook the relay to
Great video I do have a question, I have this same air horns and I would like to replace the existing horns under the hood that have 2 wires each, with the air horns and using the steering horn button, their is a 15 amp fuse in the fuse box, can this be done and how.
Thanks
Nope
Help please!!😢 I was just trying to install a GAMPRO 12V 150db Air Horn, 18 In, and it's not shutting off. I bought a separate switch that have a black and red wire, how do I connect the switch?
did the horn need a minimum amperes ?? (Ah) or just 12v is enought ?
I have a homemade battery from 12v and 6.8ah is it enought ?
Dude...I really hope you fused this😅
Inbetween what wires would you place the fuse ?
@@andresvlogs9866 hot wire coming of 12v source
@@trentdawg2832 What would the amps be for this if you don't mind me asking? Looking for a fuse myself.
@@rohanndutoit4544 mine is on a relay...30amp I believe
hello to were i have to connect the new switch/button that came with the kit i have an old switch/button that i wont use it .can u show me or explain to were it will be attached the + and the- of this new switch/button
How much current drawn for a compressor?
I'm guessing the "Switch" is your old horn wire? The positive one that usually attaches to the old wimpy horn?
No, I used a completely new circuit. I did try to use my old horn switch which is on the steering wheel but it burns the fuse immediately because the amp draw is too much. So I have to make a new circuit and install a higher amp fuse (20A) in it.

my horns that look just like this the diagram says that 30 is supposed to have a 30 amp fuse in line. Why do you have 2 wires going to 1 pin on 87 ??
Is two tons??
Wahoo I now have a air horn wired on my living room floor and my wife is mad cuz the. TV. Don't work now and nobody is horny here now😔lol
How many Amp fuse do you suggest to put inbetween the + and number 30?
Did you figure this out yet? Looking for a fuse myself.
@@rohanndutoit4544 don't remember think I went fuseless
It is illegal in Ga to have one of these and yea you can be fined and they will make u remove it
Does it still need to be fused?
Snowy J. Moore yes
Always use a fuse. Common sense
What is the diameter of the tubing, i have not received the horn yet, but i bet i'm going to need some more tubing ?
Martin Hristov about as thick as a cigarette
Did you use a separate switch ?? I have one of those but brigestone. I didn’t use separate switch
Yes, I used a separate switch. I tried to use the same switch on the steering wheel but it burned out my fuse.
@@vuaeco please help me to install a separate switch, I tried and the horn won't stop blaring. Switch not controlling it
Hey mate what wires are the best for this
You make a simple job sounded complicated
It's simple once you know how :) - all I can tell you is that I've searched a number of videos and none of them relayed the message clearly, I guess as it was too simple to explain. I liked the video.
Why wouldn't you show the installation and outcome with it in your car instead of on a table?
what would happen if i didnt use the relay? I will just use a push button switch.
btw im using a lithium polymer 4s battery with a 70c rating. Im just using this for new year as a portable air trumpet.
Goes street to da badary
do you NEED the relay? im trying to put oneof these on my scooter. i know how i have to wire it up just if i dont have to thatd be great.
That depends on how many amps your horn needs. But in general, if you have a high amp push power button (20A or more), you won't need a relay.
im not sure honestly im putting it on a scooter. i wired it up to the horn and it goes fine but ive done a lot of other electrical junk so im popping fuses TnT so i gotta upgrade my rectifier or something idk but i think i got it wired up fine idk TnT lol
thanks for the info :J
This is not a train horn. This is just an ordinary air horn for 18 wheelers.
Eres bruutoooo
Hi, I installed this on my car but the volume of the horn really really soft.. What could be the issue?
Could be the pump. The pump has to pump fast enough air through the horns. If you don't have good flow of air through the horns, it will sound weak. There are a few reasons why this happens. Your pump might be defective, or your battery is too weak, or there's an air leak in the tubes.
It sound is always consistently low volume.. Battery is standard 12V from a VW Tiguan 2018 model - is that okay? Don't they all work with 12V car batteries?? I Checked the pipes and they are okay.. Do you think the compressor pump is just a crappy weak one then? Get a new pump and try?
I'd try a new pump and see if that's better. If you have a regular compressor (for pumping air into tires), you can try that.
You are probably not using the relay correctly. When this happens it's because the pump needs power directly from the battery
I think you really have not heard a train horn before.
We get them here for like US$28 but that's at the CHEAP place.

Terminal 30 is from the + from the battery.
87 is to the + terminal on the compression.
85 & 86 are the terminals that ‘activate’ the power to the compressor, it doesn’t matter which way around they go.
Every video on this topic is rubbish.
just got this horn from a buddie
BAHAHAHAHAHAHHA horney. You mean louder
Fuse??
