    Went and got a drop in wolo bad boy horn to replace the factory ones and hit a snag. When I put it in just to check it out after reading that it should work and got nothing. Checked fuses all are good. Upgraded the horn fuse to a 20 amp and upgraded the wire and still nothing but now even the factory horn ain't working. Any help asap would be great

    The Wolo bad boy horn uses 2 wires if I am not mistaken. Are you sure you have it properly grounded? If so, then check to see if the polarity is correct. That type of horn has a direct drive compressor that will turn the wrong way if the polarity is reversed. I have a model 619 "Big Bad Max" which has a single low tone.

    I have a 619 and larger model 845 Wolo horn mounted behind my grill too.

    Check out this video and turn your volume up so you can hear my horns near the end at 1:39.
