What Would you do for power to the solenoid?
batt(+)button. solenoid.
Im afraid that the constant power to the button will burn it out. Thats the last thing I need In the middle of the night.
OR
Batt(+) switch. button. Solenoid?
leaning more towards this way.
Or how did you guys do yours? I don’t even have my horn yet but its not my first.
lol
Use a key on power source with a fuse to the button and you’ll be fine.
I use a key on power and a fuse with a switch to turn my compressor on/off when I don’t need air in the tank, and if you’re looking for an extra margin of safety then put a switch in before the button.

Power to a button isn’t going to burn it out. There is no difference between a switch or a button neither will ever burn out. I must admit thats the first time I have heard anyone worry about burning a switch.
It can happen when there there is high current/amps and a constant on and off. That will burn the contacts up.
Without the contacts touching there is no current flowing.
With no current flowing there is nothing to burn up.
I used this:
Batt-Fuse-Switch-Relay-Solenoid
So My switch picks up a relay and the relay picks up the solenoid. Plus this allows me to connect the horns to my alarm as well.
HAHA thanks guys. I guess that what happens when you listen to your dumb friends.
You burn switches when pulling more amps than what the switch is rated for…
A Truth
Hahaha. There’s a first time for everything!
