So today I went to a junkyard to help a friend pull some parts and I happen to come across a 1976 Cadillac El Durado. The car was a boat and since I have been needing a horn I decided to pull it off. I payed a whole 4 bucks for it!

The horn sounds amazing! Such a big upgrade from the stock!

The only downfall to this is after installing it I played around for a bit testing it and when I went to show my brother it just stopped working. I checked the fuse in the engine bay marked HAZ/HORN and all of the fuses in the fuse box and they all seem fine. The wiring looks like it didn't fall out of place so I am stumped. Any ideas?

Check the ground, when I put mine in I had to make sure the ground circuit was correct. I put two of them in, one Tone E and one Tone F. Damn, they are loud.

I just checked it and sure enough it was the ground!

Thank you for the insight!

Sometimes I miss the smallest easiest things... Now it's back to sounding amazing!

iamsuperbleeder

haha, maybe it's because it's a 33 year old horn

I've been meaning to upgrade mine... it sounds so puney... it's imbarassing...

Ha yeah well I haven't had one for years now cause the other one broke. When I get my camera back i'll post a video of what it sounds like.

The horn works great now. I threw in a couple of lock washers between each one and fixed the grounding issue.

before I just had them attached to the frame with a bolt and now it's fastened on their nice and tight!

I highly recommend getting this horn setup!

Although it may be 33 years old it still blows the stock horn out of the water!

Jealous much?

Did you put more than one in? Some Caddies had a four horn setup, that sounds like a train. Where did you mount them?

Sweet! I love my ford 2 horn setup. Best $10 I ever spent.

I like my air horn, runs off 160 psi from my air tank, makes small children cry

Coolest horn I ever swapped was from my old 83' Volvo 244 DL. If you ever have a chance to hear one, I would recommend it! lol

The setup I put on only had two horns. The way it sounds it is more than plenty! I'll post a vid here tomorrow night so you guys can check it out.

I ended up mounting them right by my license plate. There was a 12 bolt hole there and I just filled it up!

You can't even tell unless you are really looking for it.

Well I got my camera back today so here's a vid of my new horn. First in my garage and then on the street.

Enjoy!

Also, make sure the sound isn't too loud!

Sooooo much better than the stock horn. I think it is about the same tone as the two that I have, the tone E and tone F. I have mine mounted inside my ARB Bull Bar. It acts like and Echo chamber....

my hilux came with 2 horns under the front bumper... they are LOUD!!!
not air loud but pretty loud!

93YotaGuy

Yeah I think mine is a little loud... Definately was expecting it to be a little quieter but I love it!

toyotanick

so this is a plug and play type thing?

93YotaGuy

Yep plug and play. I jsut bolted it onto my truck and re-routed the horn wire and BAM!

New horn!

toyotanick

that is fricken awesome! now i have to actually find one of these cars!

93YotaGuy

I'll post some pics tomorrow of the horn and how it is hooked up.

Any electrical horn should work though. Just get one from a big truck or old caddy like I did and you will not be dissapointed.

I payed 4 bucks for mine and it took me about 10 min to put it in

Nice... I swapped my xBs horn for that off of a Saturn SL1 because it didnt sound like a cat being strangled. I might go to the yard later this week and look around

toyotanick

would a 68 or 84 horn work?
