Hi all, If you want extra info, join The Insight District facebook group and ask other group members questions as well facebook.com/groups/theinsightdistrict/
thats high on the priority list, if someone can supply me with the car to do, ill give it a crack, but no guarantees that the car will go back together the way it came
Better late than never, right? 😄 Glad the video found its way to you - must have been on a mission to be seen before the new year! Appreciate you watching and hope it helped out. Happy 2025!
thanks for the input, the reason why i didnt go into specifics is because this video is a generic video on how to install extra horns and its not specific to the ranger. On both sides of the firewall on the ranger there is large rubber grommets that you can feed cable through, in this particular case i ran the cable behind the reservoir bottle, through the grommet and it comes out just above the accelerator pedal. I hope this helps
Where /how did you put your fuse? My horn switch is dead and I don't want to take off my steering wheel to replace it so I'm going to try this method thanks!
Hey mate! 👍 I placed the fuse inline with the power wire going to the relay. You can tuck it near the battery or wherever it’s easy to access - just make sure it’s secure and won’t rub against anything. Sounds like a good plan with your horn switch issue! This method should save you from having to mess with the steering wheel. Let me know how it goes, and feel free to ask if you need more tips. Cheers for watching!
I appreciate the video, general in nature. But I do need more specifics. You mention a relay. I have extra relays. How would that work? BTW, my main horn isn't working right now, so I am looking to set it up with a separate switch. And the fuse - how did you incorporate a (standard vehicle - or an inline/tube) fuse into the circuit? [Am guessing somewhere before the horn's positive terminals]
One wire runs from the battery to the switch, the other runs from the switch to the horns. Basically it’s one long wire from the battery to the horns with a switch in the middle to decide when the horn receives power

Hello, on the schematic, we see a fuse between the battery and switch… but dont see or hear on the video and thats my biggest question… if you can assist, thanks
@@TheInsightDistrict yes you can but running all that current through the cab and a switch is just not a good idea on cars. on houses its fine cause its AC but with DC just no

Love the channel Can't wait to see your video on replacing the oil cooler seal on a 2006 Nissan X-trail.
thats high on the priority list, if someone can supply me with the car to do, ill give it a crack, but no guarantees that the car will go back together the way it came
Thank you so much for your helpful video.
4 years later first time seeing January 6 2025
I seen this December 28

Love you channel. It has god potential.. But nyes, maybe a bit more detail, like where to run the wiring in the Ranger.

But you don’t want to let us hear the damned thing!?
there weak
I appreciate the video, general in nature. But I do need more specifics. You mention a relay. I have extra relays. How would that work? BTW, my main horn isn't working right now, so I am looking to set it up with a separate switch.

maybe find out why your main horn isnt working first in case its the switch in your steering wheel or something else
My switch in the steering is not working,but I want to install a different Horn with a different switch,so how do I go about it?@@TheInsightDistrict
i got the same horns, how did you onow the difference between pos n neg? they dont have it marked as most things do
just put some temp wires on them, touch them directly on the battery terminals and see if they work , that will give you an idea of which way they go
Suzuki Samurai's, even stock horns benefit from a simple $5.00 automotive relay makes all the difference
Great video, but your intro music is about 5x the volume of your voice, and nearly blew my eardrums out after I turned up my volume to hear you.
Why is there two wires coming off the switch?
One wire runs from the battery to the switch, the other runs from the switch to the horns. Basically it’s one long wire from the battery to the horns with a switch in the middle to decide when the horn receives power
thanks
hope it makes sense
Where did you go in the car with the wiring.
On both sides of the firewall on the ranger there is large rubber grommets that you can feed cable through, in this particular case i ran the cable behind the reservoir bottle, through the grommet and it comes out just above the accelerator pedal. I hope this helps
Hello, on the schematic, we see a fuse between the battery and switch… but dont see or hear on the video and thats my biggest question… if you can assist, thanks
Why not just use the power from the original horn ?
because if the after market horns have a fault or draw too much power, it can blow the fuse for the stock horns and then neither of them will work
Whoa whoa whoa what’s up with that switch mount lol
I did a stand alone system and it keeps blowing the fuse what do I do
make sure that your fuse and wiring is rated for the product you are using
the ants were stressing me out
always use a relay no matter what
Why, if its a stand alone system you dont need one?
@@TheInsightDistrict how much current are you running through the switch
Its next to nothing, and all you do is get a switch thats rated for the current draw of the item
@@TheInsightDistrict yes you can but running all that current through the cab and a switch is just not a good idea on cars. on houses its fine cause its AC but with DC just no
@@playthegame1016 the horns only draw a maximum of 6 amps, if you have a fuse inline, your not going to have any issues
Hack
Haha, well… if it works, it works! 😏 Let me know if you give it a try and if it helps you out. Cheers for watching! 👍
What a freaking waste of time
