Cadillac 4 Note Horn Setup in 1989 Lincoln Town Car

I just replaced my 1989 Town Car's single note horn with a 1997 Cadillac 4-note horn set on my car and I think it sounds awesome. You might not know what I’m talking about, but you’ll remember it, when you hear it. No car but Cadillac and GM's upscale Buick and Oldsmobiles had it. It had a nice melodious soft, yet loud tone, with high and low notes; unlike these weak roadrunner horns on cars today. They don’t even make horns like they used to.

I have a set out of a 91 Cadillac Devil crammed into my Honda Accord. When hit them peoples reactions are priceless because they are used to hearing a little "meep" from a Honda lol! The best part about having them wired to my steering wheel is now when I set my alarm on my car the Cadillac horns chirp rather than the stock horn.

Yes! 😂 I can imagine how awesome that sounds. Hey, b.t.w., did you post a video of your Cadillac horns in your Honda Accord here on RU-vid? I looked at so many videos with the 4-Note horn set added and I may have saw yours too.

+repeatman Cool. Oh wow! I see you have a lot of videos related to the 4-note horns in your Honda Accord. I actually haven't seen your videos before. I just checked them out. They're great! Some are even funny! Your 4-Note horns are louder than mine! I forgot they were louder until the mid 1990s, once GM started making the waterproof 2-wire connected 4-note horns.

Thanks. Yeah, you should do this to your Lincoln. I was always a Lincoln guy but I must admit, GM made the best horns for Cadillac. I'm really surprised at how many people are impressed by this sound! I'm also surprised at how many others have made this modification to their car! You should go for it and make the modification! you can get the horn from a junk yard or from eBay.

Hey man. Can you share part numbers for the setup? It might be a simple task, but since I'm from Europe, I can't come across Cadillac parts easily. I have to search for them individually. I upgraded my w211s stock dual-tone setup for an older Maybach 57/62 quad-tone horns but the caddy's horns sound way better.

Hello, thanks! You can buy them off of eBay or just find them in the junk yard. I personally make more of my purchases on eBay than on Amazon. eBay has a wider selection of items both new and used than Amazon or Craigslist. Just do a search for 4 Note Cadillac Horns. They come off Cadillac, Buicks, and Oldsmobiles from the 1980s-1990s. They are a 4-note set of four 4 horns. You want to get a set that has A, C, D and F.

Nice setup man! Do you know what year vehicles that you could find these horns on? I heard you can find them on Buick Roadmasters, Devilles, etc. Did you run off the factory harness, or run some relays?
@CharlesSmith1
@CharlesSmith1 7 лет назад
Hey, thanks. You can find these horns from Cadillac DeVilles, Fleetwoods, Buick Roadmasters, and pretty much all the GM B-body vehicles of the early to mid 1990s. The 1994-1999 4-note horns come with water proof 2-wire connectors (positive and negative ground wire plug) They run off of a relay. You can order the horns on eBay and when you do, some sellers will provide a relay at no extra cost. It is highly recommended you use a relay because they horns use a lot of power from the battery.
@bartmaster1234
@bartmaster1234 7 лет назад
Yeah I saw a whole setup on eBay, but they cost a bit. What's the latest model year car that you would find these? I was just planning on going to a junkyard and taking some out myself. Do the earlier or later model years sound any different than the earlier ones? Thanks!
@bartmaster1234
@bartmaster1234 7 лет назад
Also the earliest model year, what year range Cadillacs should I be looking for?
@CharlesSmith1
@CharlesSmith1 7 лет назад
Yes, the older ones from the 1960s to the 1980s sound different than the 1990s ones. The 1990s are not as loud as the 1960s to the 1990s models but they sound more harmonic and I personally like that sound better. Also, set up for the 1994-1999 models are easier because they don't require a ground wire.

+Nick Zimmerman Two Cadillac Horns are mounted in the front body of the car, behind the headlights and the other two located next to the front radiator grille. You have to be creative as where they go. They can go anywhere you have room for it in your car. They were bolted with holes and mounts already made into the car when it was built. i didn't really make as much of an instructional video on how to do this. I had help. I just made a video of how they sound.

@CharlesSmith1
@CharlesSmith1 4 года назад
I got them from eBay. Just go on eBay.com and search "GM 4 Note Horns". They come in a set of four loud horns which are the A,C,D, and F note. They're two high notes and two low sounding notes, giving that train horn sound! They don't make these sets anymore. They used to be made by GM from the 1960s-1990s to go on certain Buick, Cadillac, and Oldsmobile cars. There are still a few of them remaining on eBay. If you don't see any there, you can also try the junk yards.
