Dixie Horn

I recently purchased a Dukes of Hazard Dixie horn from the eBay store 'OEMTOYOU' for $50, including shipping and like it a lot. It came with 5 horns, a compressor, tubing, a 4 prong relay, and mounting hardware. I followed the instructions, trying to connect wires through the relay and, as soon as I put the positive wire on the battery, the horn just continuously went off. After about 30 mins of cussing and failed attempts, I just cut the wire to the stock horn and connected it to the positive connection of the compressor and ran a ground wire from the negative connection of the compressor to the engine and, viola, it worked perfectly! Although, I do have to hold the horn (steering wheel) down to play the entire tune, it beats the hell out of dealing with countless amounts of wires, a relay, and connecting to the battery!

Yeah, it's in the original post, it may just take a sec to load

 

Nope, sadly. It's gonna suck when some a-hole cuts me off and I angrily honk and everyone laughs at me

 

real horns are overrated. dixie is the way to go.

 

thats awesome!

 

ahhaahahahah i love it

 

is there a way to connect a Dixie air horn to a seperate switch?

 

Yea. Just get a momentary push button switch and hook it to the compressor or whatever powers the horns.

 

Someone asked about installation, so here's how I did it:

First, connect the hoses from the compressor to the individual horns. You'll notice that everything is color coded, for simplicity. Simply hook the horn with the blue o-ring to the compressor port with the blue ring, and so on....





I mounted my horns to a piece of plywood and set them behind the passenger side wheel well, butted up against the firewall. I mounted the horn on top of the passenger wheel well.



Now, you just need to connect the ground wire to something metal on your truck, as seen in the above picture. After that, find your stock horn, cut the wire, and splice the positive wire from the compressor to it and you're good to go.



Also, the 2001 comes with 2 stock horns, so if you don't also cut the wire going to the 2nd horn, when you honk the Dixie horn, the stock horn will honk with it...I simply removed both stock horns.

 

when I lived in ohio used to hear those on them hillbilly shriners jed clampet like trucks.

 

...is that a good or bad thing?

 

Awesome!

 

MERRRICA!!!!!! Now that's cool!

 

Quite a few had those around here in our high school days.

 

awesome! i added one to mine a few weeks ago... i have a pushbutton on the dash and the stock horn still hooked up as well for inspection reasons...
