Sorry I don't have more insight I just added buttons/switches

Who has wired their train horn to the stock horn with the supplied rocker kill switch?
I've followed the wire schematic but I can't get the train horn to sound off when I hit the wheel horn.

I had the train horn wired to ground and to the rocker switch. Switch to the stock horn wire under the dash (purple with green stripe). I know there are two of them. I'm using the one that when cut, the stock horn didn't work. So I'm pretty sure I have the correct horn wire.

After some time I've found that the horn wire under the dash is constantly hot (@ 12volts). So I moved the train horn ground to the battery positive terminal. Still couldn't get the train horn to sound off.

Suggestions? Thoughts?

I have my "activated" train horns wired with my compressor and only aux #4. Basically when I turn #4 on, my train horns and compressor are active. When off, stock horn works.

I don't recall, I'm sure Noah knows, but seems like the horn had a constant 12v to it and operated by opening and closing the ground.... But it's been a while since I've looked.

That's what it seems like. So I guess I need some direction.

What fuse do you have on aux 4? The kit said it needs a 16 amp fuse. I directly wired the compressor to aux 3. 15 amp fuse. Figured it would be ok.

To be honest, I don't recall. I do remember not knowing if it'd blow the aux 4 fuse but didn't want to rearrange the aux switch wiring so I tried it and it worked fine and #4 is rated for 10A I believe. I've never personally seen a 16A automotive fuse before.

I do know the first night, the fuse in the HB fuse holder melted before it blew. I ran the correct size wires, so the fuse did it's job. Just had a defective or cheap fuse they give you. I put my own weatherproof fuse holder and new fuse in it and worked perfect ever since.

I was looking at this old post but couldn't make sense of it.

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.

the horn wire under the dash should not be a power. it should be a ground. how is the train horn wired now?

 

[Yukon Joe]

That's not what I'm seeing.

The train horn had one wire leading to the kill switch then from kill switch to horn wire under dash.
The other wire from the horn can go where ever it needs, power, ground, oem horn behind the grill....

So you think I have the wrong wire under the dash?

it seems like it. i would check to see the state of the wire when you press the horn

It drops from 12 v to zero when I hit the horn. This is on the 2014 in case that matters.
