When I did my install, I just got a fitting to screw into the port on the compressor, ran about a 6 ft piece of those and remote mounted my intake/filter on top of the transmission/transfer case in the vicinity of the factory located EVAP vents.

now this is just preliminary with no asbuilt or verification of what the OEM horn circuit actually looks like but this is how i plan wiring mine in.

In lamens terms what will happen in the circuits current state is that when you press your momentary switch in the center of your stearing wheel aka (horn) the OEM horn will sound.
Now when you flip the Auxilary switch and you pull in the 2 relays R-T-H and R-T-C.
Relay R-T-H sole purpose is to open the OEM horn ciruit and provide a path for the Electronically actuated solenoid for the train horn circuit. So that when you press the Momentary switch in the stearing wheel it makes the solenoid release the compress air to the horns.
Relay R-T-C sole purpose is to control when your compressor (M) can run. So in essence the toggle switch has to be flipped for your compressor to run. Then wire the Electronic pressure switch to control the on and off function of the compressor when the need for more air is needed.

This will make it pretty covert. :head3:

That looks like it'll work and all work off 1 aux switch too which is nice. I think the only thing I'd just leave out is NC contact for the stock horn, it won't really matter if your stock horns honks at the same time your train horns do, just a couple wires you wouldn't have to worry about IMO.

LOL yea know what you mean... im just a perfectionist

Ive thought about it a little more and it could be done with one single relay
that has 2 NO contacts and at least one NC contact

Now all i gotta do is conact ford motor company and see if they have a relay or relays to fit my application cause the aux switches are hooked up to a NO relay with no NC contacts...

That exactly how I did my set up, except I did not have the relay turn off the factory horn and I have 2 compressors, so an additional relay for that.

If I did horns I would have to mount the compressor and tank in the box. That stuff underneath would not last very long. Hope your horns are loud enough to scare dumb asses out of your way.
