Air Train Horn Wiring Circuit - Part 3 

Can't tell you how much trouble I was having hooking my horn up. Your separate circuit explanation cleared everything up ! Thanks so much !

HANDS DOWN BEST VIDEO FOR AIRHORN INSTALL

We just installed a hornblaster kit on my sons’ 2019 Ford 150 and couldn’t have done it correctly the first time without your whiteboard diagram! Super helpful! You’re absolutely right with regard to time to completion. Took us two days not a few hours and the lack of directions/guidance that were provided by Hornblasters was very disappointing. Thank you again my friend!

This is the only video I have found that covers the solenoid on a truck horn. All the other videos assume that you have standard air horns. Great video with clear information many thanks!

Thanks for the video. This helped a lot. I watched at least 20 vids on how to hook the horn up and none of them helped. This explained a lot, who would've thought it would be so simple! Thanks again!

Well explained. I think I could even wire that up😎

Thanks for the explanation you make it simple and easy for the beginner.👍👍

Great explanation thanks for the assistance. Keep it up!

Wonderful lecture. Great to see your posting.

Looking to install my Vixen VXO8210/4124B this weekend. The diagram and explanation is most helpful. Thanks.

Thanks for this it has helped me install one and I got it right ,white board diagram was helpful

thanks, this video helped me make sense of the vague instructions that came me with my airhorn

Thank you so much for showing us and teaching us how to install properly our on board air tank and train horn 😀 I am working for the past couple days in my f250 but I am enjoying everything I have been done till now. You guys take care and thanks again Oscar here for Jax Beach Florida 🤙🏾

One if the BEST videos out there, Thank you!

Simply n perfect 👍

Hello, I gotta thank you finally some one that explains stuff in simple language we can understand instead of short technol can't understand what heck going so YHANK YOU I learned more in this video then the other twenty videos,

Great job Glen with the wiring diagrams! Should be easy enough for anyone to wire the horn system. Keep up the good work and stay safe!

THANKS! This saved me a TON of time, still took all day by myself tho but soooo worth it!

Wired up a train horn on my dually service truck last year. Being a plumber I can follow a diagram but had no idea how it worked. Quit working on me last week. Got mad trouble shooting and snatched all the wiring out. Good news is this video gave me the full picture and knowledge to get it back functioning properly. Bad news is I should’ve watched it before snatching it all out… now that I know what’s going on I either had a bad ground or my pressure switch failed. I’m going to say the switch failed to save me from the embarrassment of a bad ground wire being the cause. Thank you for the information.

That'll get some attention.

Legend, cheers mate. simplified and very helpful

Brilliant explanation the best I have found on utube. Subscribed

Great video! Thank you for taking the time to make it.

5:45 being a diy car guy... never heard of that kind of 3 pin fuse... no wonder i didnt understand what "micro three" you were referring to in the last video... nice to know👍🏼

Could I add a inline on/off switch after the 5A fuse at the power distribution block and before the pressure switch? That way the the compressor will only kick on if the ignition is on and the switch is on. Thank you so much. This video explains this better than anyone else.

Great Video! I was thinking of running the compressor to the 30amp up-fitter switch on my Raptor instead of the fuse box. Would that work to control the power to the compressor, and then when that is on, the button on the horn side would then be allowed to sound the horns? Interested in your thoughts! Thanks!

Great 👍 Do you have a diagram of tapping in to the factory horns with a switch so I can choose from air horns and factory horns

Good explanation 👏

Fantastic video, explaining it made it so easy for install. Could I just tap into the factory horn and install a cut off switch

Excellent drawing and explanation... Einstein has nothing on you bro

What if the pressure and compressor were connected together do I cut it and do it separately like your diagram? It comes hooked up together from the manufacture

I’ve had issues with my switch. I have a momentary switch wired up on the positive side and every time I hit the button the truck dies. I’m grounded from the solenoid right to frame and positive to battery, with only the fuse and switch. Can’t figure out why it does that, any help???

Awesome thanks for clean explanation

Now what if I wanted to put the compressor on a switch so it only turns on when I want it to

My compressor only has 2 wires?

Great stuff, man! Nice work with the White Board of Knowledge! If I ever get a white board, I'll call it, The White Board of DOOOOM, then throw on some heavy metal music ... just because that picture in my head makes me laugh a bit. :D I already told you about my S15 air horns, but I got that idea from my dad. He put a set of Euro air horns (high pitched) under the hood of his '84 Ramcharger. One day we were coming back from my grandma's place right on the edge of the city, and this guy was standing out in the road shoveling the snowbank in front of his driveway. My dad let 'er rip, and the shovel went airborne, and the guy went down! My dad was roaring! That guy wasn't too happy with us, HAHAHAHA! MA life! I installed my compressors in the Silverado with a switch as well. When I was looking at the supplied wiring diagram and seeing only the pressure switch controlling the circuit, I knew that wouldn't fly. I put a switch in the cab, between my legs under the dash. Biggest problem is, the compressor shuts off, then I forget and leave the switch on! I've flattened the battery a few times over the past 7 years as the thing cycled all night long. I've tried to fix every leak in the system, but now I've got so many air lines between the air bags, in-cab air bag controller, and the Ox Locker, that I have a million leak points. It only leaks in cold weather. In the summer, the pressure gauge will stay put for a month. The colder it is, the faster it leaks. Can't spray anything in these temps because it freezes almost instantly. Fire up the Face Melter and warm the shop up, the leaks stop! It's infuriating. I have to keep hitting the air switch to keep the bags minimally inflated. 1st world problems, lol. Life has been much worse! :)

Nice explanation Glen , buddy is some good looking eh 😅😅

Does the solenoid need to be mounted to the horn or can you mount it in the tank and run an air line with fittings to the horn? I have a fitment issue. Thanks!

Any idea why horn blows as soon as my ir starts to pump iv swapped the horn wires unhooked them and even tired directly to 12v source with button .... solenoid clicks when hit horn but still blows no matter what

How do I know if I need a relay or not?, does having a wire straight from the battery to a switch then to the load (horn) drain the battery? Is the fuse acting like a circuit breaker in a panel? Is a fuse mandatory?

Kind of threw me off. Not a lot. But for pressure switch there both hot 12v. Correct? I got confused when you mentioned 86 needs a ground. But it’s all hot..? Sorry confused a bit.

So I just bought a truck with an air horn and was trying to diagnose it, and I have come to the conclusion that the pressure switch is not working do to by passing it. I noticed my system is not running through a relay. Is this ok? Also my pressure switch seems to have a constant hot and an auxiliary hot ( when the key is on). Is this set up fine? Should I have a different pressure switch? Also should I run it through a relay?

My tank has only two wires…the pressure switch is connected to the tank….my question is where does my switch go & what pin on the relay do I tap into using a 5 pin relay? Thank you in advance.

What air compressor did y’all use I’ve been looking for a good one

Is there a way to to add a switch to the compressor ?

Is there any reason why I should connect the horn button/momentary switch directly to the battery as opposed to getting power from the fuse panel? I don't really want to run another wire when I have a fuse panel near the button. Thanks!!

stupid question my compressor has the "ps" with just a negative coming off both pins...(negative off compressor to ps and negative to ground?) could i just come off pin 86 straight to the power distrubution box

Oh and what gauge wire was the other wire

Could I use a switch instead of the power distribution box?

On your second diagram, where is the switch to blow the horn?

The "compressor circuit" diagram image on the right, didn't show where a push Button would be placed. Or did i miss something?!

On my unit the pressure sensor is wired into the compressor already, so could I run power straight from the battery, to a switch, to the 86 port and it would essentially work the same? Rather than it run on keyed power, it runs when the switch is turned on?

Great video, thanks. where would an electric valve connect as well as a second relay for a 2nd compressor ?

Is speaker wire good?

So can i put a switch in the 86 wire to control the pump when the vehicle is on?

So is it possible to just run it all the time hot without the relay or ignition source and just put a switch after the fuse to turn compressor on and off without using the pressure switch?

I wired my relay up exactly the same and did my pressure switch the same exact way and my compressor is not kicking on the only thing I did different was ran my relay ground to the battery

I recently bought a horn kit but didnt include the relay what way could i wire it

do i need a relay?

If i buy a real train horn , i need the compressor right ?

🤷‍♂️
