    Horn Output

    Does anybody know how to make our horn work w/o turning the ignition ON? I'm sure there's a way to bypass this feature as I'm trying to connect my horn to my alarm..

    i had to rewire my horn because i couldnt get any power...so i just ran a "tap" wire from the horn wire (the one that goes to the relay) to another wire that goes to a relay that is always live...if u dont understand what im saying, IM me at Lmoranx16 and ill try explain it better.




    looks something like this:

    switch @ wheel wherever it goes
    | |
    horn wire---middle"tap"wire----live wire
    | |
    relay relay

    Damn your horn does not work when the cars off?? I have an 8G and the horn works weather the car is on or off with the keys out of the ignition. I wonder what the reason is for having the horn not work when the car is off.

    I guess it only works when your car came with the factory alarm w/2 horns. I think I just need to wire up a relay/flasher directly to the horn/siren, and not under the steering column.

    i never had a factory alarm.

    but yea, mine is hooked up to my aftermarket alarm and its hooked up pretty much to the horn but don't forget the diode or you're in for a lil surprise when u honk the horn.

    The 00-03 8g will honk without the ignition on. The 99 is the only one that wont.
