Dixie horn install???
Ive posted about this in other forums with no luck. I ordered a dixie horn from fiamm. The instructions are not clear and in spanish. It has a diagram for the horns to compressor, but doesnt tell me what other parts I need. Can yall give me a list of what other parts are need. Obiviously some type of wire, relay and button. And I also cant find a dry sensible place to mount it.

I can help.
What year truck is this goin in?
This is a circuit I designed for airhorns. This works for pre 97trucks, and if the 97+ trucks have a negitive grounded horn switch it will work too. Would need a Haynes diagram to get the wire colors.
Let me know if I need to explain it in detail, but all it is doing is using a six dollar relay to trigger the horn. My stock horn wiring was butcherd by a previous owners attempt at some aftermarket install, so I scrapped the stock wiring and made a whole new circuit to power everything. I was able to save six bucks and recycle the stock relay though. The switch determines which relay gets grounded when the button is pressed and that determines which relay closes.
I mounted the relays under the dash on my fuse panel door.

I dont quite understand why you wired it to your old horn? Heres what I want to do: wire a switch inside the truck and wire the compressor to the switch which is wired to the battery. What wire do I need. I know about dirt when it comes to wiring.

Please, please, please tell me that a "dixie horn" is not a horn, in your car, that plays "Dixie" (as in "I wish I was in the land of cotton, / old times there are not forgotten, / Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land.)
