Fitting Air Hore/ Dixie Horn

[zook123]

Ok. Looking for a air horn/dixie horn for my first car...How do i fit it when i get one?

[bourneyo]

Im not sure how the dixi horn works but when i had my normal air horn i jus unlpugged the wires from the standard horn an plugged them onto the air horn compressor, and then just swapped them back for the MOT! job done

Ive got my air horns on a seperate swtich wired up to a relay..

dead easy to do!

pin 30 to the battery via an in-line fuse
pin 85 to a good earth
pin 87 to the positive connection on the air compressor
pin 86 to a live connection - you can have this so its a permanent live, or only live with the ignition...


at least thats what i think it is off the top of my head.....

Yep its like above although id run a new thick wire from the battery to the feed side of relay so that the compressor isnt taking power from the suzuki loom, also worth fitting an inline fuse as near to the battery as possible, one last thing, if your using the dukes of hazzard as your main horn, they wont be legal (only on pre 1973 cars), but its not a real problem, just dont blast it when your jumping over that policecar via a conveniently placed pile of sand lol.

good luck tho Jason.

Yeah I like minis... not sure about Dixie Horns... but I like minis. Had one for a bit, but ended up mutilating it for parts for my three-wheeler... and an Enfield motor bike. Mini parts are very versatile.
