Acquiring my first kit hopefully shipped this week… was wondering if i could get advise on how to wire the setup. Ive been looking at schematics from hornblasters and haven’t found one that fits what I’m looking to do, or I haven’t found it yet. Im looking to do two switches in the cab, one for the horn on/off and the other for the compressor on/off. My concern is running power directly from the battery to the switches then to the pressure switch on the compressor/tank and horn.
Any suggestions would be awesome! Even if you don’t like my idea.
Welcome to the forums. Which kit and which pressure switch?
For the compressor you would normally run a heavy fused wire from the battery to the pressure switch. Then run the trigger wire from an ignition source to the pressure switch. The pressure switch will automatically turn the compressor on & off, but if you want a master kill switch, put it inline on the trigger wire. Does that answer your question?
Do you want to use your steering wheel for the horn or a seperate button?
Don’t hate me but i didn’t get the kit from hornblasters… and yes that way makes perfect sense and i would like to use a secondary button to trigger the horn.
Nah man it’s cool. I was moreso asking to determine which pressure switch. The ones from HB have a built in relay. If your kit is complete, it should at least have a relay with the pressure switch.
In the end, we all like loud horns so I hope it works out good for you.
