Default Re: Remote Horn Blower?

[QUOTE=Tom Endy;2076693]It is certainly doable and I know how to do it, but I certainly wouldn't. I drive my Model A daily on short errands around town. Quite often I come back to the car and there our people viewing the car. During the conversation I am asked to ahooguh the horn and I always do.

To remotely ahooguh the horn with people standing around would send a message that it is part of an alarm system and the owner does not appreciate people getting close to the car. I would not want to send that message.

What Tom says makes good sense! I agree totally!
P.s. Good to see you back Tom! Wayne

I used a similar device to control my turn signals along with relay switches. A is the left, B is the right. Just need to remember to turn off.

new horn draws 4.5 amps. I would use the vehicles elect system to power everything. wire the remote separately to power the remote, then parallel the output to the horns wiring. This way the button & remote will both work

Sorry, I don’t understand. What is “elect system?”

Does "electrical system" ring a bell?

With all due respect, is the purpose of this to show off and get attention ?

Funny, it’s often been said many if not most antique car owners get more pleasure out of others enjoying the car rather than the car itself. That’s what car shows are all about. Showing the car.

I guess that's why I don't take my A or any other old cars that I've owned to car shows.
