Another horn relocation how to

i know this has already been done a thousand times. I read some really great threads here which led me to starting the relocation. i did mine just slightly different and thought i would share. i like to utilize as many stock bolt and holes as possible. hope this helps someone

Perform at your own risk and YMMV. But I didn't have to make any new holes or add any new bolts. I didn't need to extend any wires or separate the temp sensor wiring from the horn wiring. Only thing i had to add were 2 zip ties.

this is how it went on my 2014 DCSB 4x4. i have the towing package and a V6.

I only got a few pics but they should tell the story. And once you get the grill off and start to look around it will all come together.

Started by removing the plastic cover over the top of the radiator. the horn/temp sensor wire harness runs under it.
Unplugged horns
Unplugged temp sensor
Unbolted horns and sat aside.
Unhooked the tie downs holding the temp sensor/horn harness to the body of the truck. being a new truck this was super easy as the clips were not dry and brittle as they become with age

Some other threads mentioned routing the harness through the hole the air bag sensor harness goes through. i didn't want to risk that so i ran mine through the hole the trans cooler lines go through. just above it

Don't have a pic of the wires going through it.


Then, i removed the bolt at the bottom of the center brace



i mounted one horn backwards and the other facing outward. basically one on top of the other and put the bolt back in. worked perfect. i think the horn i put backwards was the horn originally on the left in the stock location. i am going to go back and rotate the front horn a little downward just so water can drain back out if any were to get into it. this can be done by loosening the screw that attaches the horn to the bracket.





A few inches to the left was a perfect hole to clip the temp sensor into.

 

And you moved the horns because...?

 

So they cannot be seen when you install a grill that is more "open" like a satoshi.

 

I see. Thanks.

 

Cleans up behind a Satoshi
Room for aux lights, aux fan, oil cooler, trans cooler, etc....



First mod I did to my Tundra was to pop those steel covers off of the horns. Helped a bit with the volume. Forgot about that and need to do it to the Taco.

 

Yes. All of the above reasons. Mounting up my BAMF behind the grill light mount and needed them to go to make room. And also in. Prep for when the day comes for a mesh grill insert.

I was wondering what the point of the metal insert was. Didn't think to take them off. I may do this as well.

 

Thanks to the op for this. Followed this without issue, smooth install.

 

Thanks OP. Did my mesh grill. Horns are right in your face. Will move tomorrow.

 

You bet. Glad I could provide something back.

 

I did this yesterday, but I couldn't get the temp sensor to reach that hole. The wire seemed a a bit short, even after I opened up the harness.
