My Aveo started blowing its horn randomly one day and just took a crap and hasn’t worked since even with a new horn and relay/fuse didn’t fix the random auto horn sound. This is a great easy fix. Thanks!
I'm glad to see this video. I've had a nightmare trying to wire up the stupid horn relay. I'm just going to hard wire it in like you've done. As long as it passes the MOT 😁
Hey,i love it. I did this on my 89 LeSabre years ago. Now my 2004 Century has a short in the steering pad switch, so Im going to do it again. A little neater my way,but you got er dun....lol.
That looks like too many repairs I have done on the side of the road to get me from point A to point B😂😂😂 now it all makes sense. Half my family came from North Carolina even if we are in the far north now. Came from a family of Tarheels
Lmao I got the same gen/engine ford but mine is a F150. But should be same thing. Truck works FINE no check engine but the fkn horn stopped working. Great video man.
@@ChrisThedudenurse shoot I like that I have a 1988 Isuzu pickup and here in Hawaii it's $26 a car no matter what age thanks for the video tho I passed my inspection!
My original cars horn has 1 single wire i want to replace it with a louder horn that has two pins. Can i connect the wire to one pin and ground the othe pin to the car? I dont want all these wires just simple part replacement.
Your current horn has a relay between the button and the horn itself, which it why it only has 1 wire. It would probably be easier to find a louder horn with the single connection.
It’s a marine 10 amp fuse. I only used that one because it’s what I had. No bigger than the draw that the horn by itself will have the 10 amp was enough.
I did mine the same but went through the fire wall it had a hole that I used and I went strait off the battery and a 20 amp fuse in line off the power line and it works great.
@@ChrisThedudenurse Yep, totally agree with you. What I meant to say is that I would have done the exact same thing ---- "just get it working". I just got a kick at the end because after the "just get it working", a fuse was added. I'd pull out the fuse and jam tin foil in there -LOL (jk)
I’m laughing my ass off we have the exact same dash/battery and everything else location placement (except for your seats) I’m not the brightest with car brands/makes and models, but I would guess an expedition is the newer or upgraded version of my truck 97 f150 XLT because that is literally my dash and console ya got hahahaha and I’m wiring my horn now!
waittt... lol so he really fucked up using the red and black wire colors what he shoulda dont was just connected the ground and positive to the horn and just told us he cut the ground wire and added each side of the switch to each end he cut. over negative to negative positive to positive and negative to the POSITIVE side of the battery lol people are gonna get all fuggered up tryna understand this one
@@ChrisThedudenurse Well, my horn on my 53 Ford goes off all the time when you wire it up and connect the battery. My neighbor who is good at wiring said that I was wiring it right, but the wire in the steering column is probably grounding inside and touching the metal, which is making it go off. It still has the original cloth wiring, which has lost its color and falls apart easily. Makes it harder to tell what is what. Haha
@@FordHoard sounds like your getting constant power to the horn but bypassing the switch or button. All it is just a circle ⭕️ with the battery being the start and end point with a switch then horn then back to the battery.
My 1988 G20 Chevy Vans Horn Hasent Worked In 5 Years The Horn Fuse Blows When You Honk It. I Always Liked The Sound Of My 1985 Mercedes 300d Turbo Diesel Horns When I Sold The Car I Kept The Horns I Wanta Put Them On My 1988 Chevy G20 Van. i Have Air Horns To Put On It Too.
I followed this today. took 30-60 mins since I had no clue what I was doing. Worked great. I fed my wire through the hood release.
That’s awesome, probably looks a lot cleaner than mine.
What gauge wire did you use… and/or does it matter? Gonna give this a try for inspection in Texas.
I honestly cannot remember. It was whatever the fuse was I think it was 10 or 12.

Glad I could help

It passed inspection here in North Carolina, your state may be different but it worked for me.
@@ChrisThedudenurseWill it pass in California?
@@YTWAP nothing will pass in California……. I honestly don’t know you could ask a local shop.
Where did you get it from bro bro ?
Horn and switch came from Amazon wire came from parts store
Like you said dont do it this way lol but still a good vid for explaining how a horn works. Need more simple and too the point like this on youtube
Well thank you, yeah I only had to pass inspection and law just says I need a horn not where or how I should put it.

Hey I just needed to pass inspection

Very cool, easy to understand, great video.
Awesome that’s all I wanted

@@digitalphoenix72 hey we gotta pass inspection here or they won’t let us keep them legal. Do what you gotta do.
You got the amzon link which one you bought?
Oh this was years ago I don’t remember.
Lmao I got the same gen/engine ford but mine is a F150. But should be same thing. Truck works FINE no check engine but the fkn horn stopped working. Great video man.
@@StBeter-tc2te thank you. Sucks your horn quit on you.
@@ChrisThedudenurse Dang man I’d love to see what kit you used. Seems very simple. But anyways good video. Do you know how much it cost around?
i really like ur video and ur presentation is hilarious it's like watching informational comedy like jeremy clarkson
@@CringeOMusic thank you 🙏
where did you get the black wire from? The wolo kit only came with a red wire.
Oh this was no kit. I did all this myself, most everything came from autozone.
@@ChrisThedudenurse im still confused but your video helps.
Screwed the horn button straight to the top of your dash, huh? Classy.
However it did pass inspection
What switch did you use? Looking to do the same

I remember it being cheaper though when I bought mine.
How much is inspection in North Carolina?
@@Rawsunrise depends on how old your car is. 20 years and older it’s $9. Newer it’s $30 plus whatever the shop charges.

@@ChrisThedudenurse i don't think they sell aftermarket horns with one connector. So if I do the above connections will it not work ?
@@dant3113 yes, as long as you do all new wiring like I did.
What kind of fuse? How do you know which one to use
It’s a marine 10 amp fuse. I only used that one because it’s what I had. No bigger than the draw that the horn by itself will have the 10 amp was enough.

Nice, I just used a bunch of stuff I had lying around the house.
Love it. Serves its purpose 😊
Yes it does
That's great man! Wire colors? Reversed? Like you said, who cares, as long s it works! And then you blew it by including a fuse - LOL
I kept failing inspection. I mean I’m not going to fix it the right way on a vehicle with 260K+ miles. Putting money into it would be silly.
@@ChrisThedudenurse Yep, totally agree with you. What I meant to say is that I would have done the exact same thing ---- "just get it working". I just got a kick at the end because after the "just get it working", a fuse was added. I'd pull out the fuse and jam tin foil in there -LOL (jk)
If I was doing the inspection I would have failed you due to a fire hazard
nah, there's a fuse there.
Very impressive installation .
Thank you it was cheap and easy.

This is the exact same thing as the F150 just with a closed in back. This is a 2000 model.
@@ChrisThedudenurse nice! I got my horn wired and ran it the same way ya did through the door lol worked perfect for the quick and easy
Damn they must pass anything over there 😂🤦♂️
Only has to have a horn that blows.
link to horn on Amazon, please
I don’t remember which one it was now. This was a few years ago.
Lol. Red neck engineering....but it's not dumb if it works 😂
It did work
😂 that's awesome
Works too
This is funny to see 😂
You could have gone to Walmart and buy a can air horn and avoided all the wiring 😂
It wouldn’t have passed inspection. That’s the only reason I wired this horn up.
@@ChrisThedudenurse
I'm just joking around
Very simple; just needed to confirm.
Oh yeah, supper easy.
Love it!
Thank you, it was super easy and very classy.
Thank you 🙏
You are welcome
Looks like Hell.
Oh she is not pretty
Thanks, I need to do the same thing
You are welcome
Size of red wire which is connected to battery
Not sure it’s just what ever I had laying around I’d say either 12 or 14.
Gonna copy u (at my own risk of course). Thanks 😂
Hope it goes well
this sure is a very mickey mouse job i just hope it does not short out when you close your door
Nah nothing was rubbing against the door. Mickey Mouse wishes he was this cool.
His first words say he doesnt recommend it lolol. Mickey would probably say like...oh boyy
Dude hide that wires 😂
@@nedoscarsandfishingvideos5500 no way adds to the fun
I want to do that and a semi truck horn
and it’s not even a truck
Do it
Mine gets stuck honking
That’s no good
When I see his super important teacher's finger. Disgusting.
🤷♂️
waittt... lol so he really fucked up using the red and black wire colors what he shoulda dont was just connected the ground and positive to the horn and just told us he cut the ground wire and added each side of the switch to each end he cut. over negative to negative positive to positive and negative to the POSITIVE side of the battery lol people are gonna get all fuggered up tryna understand this one
