Been eyeing up the high-low dual horn sets like the Mustang uses. Will the 1970 Maverick wiring support blowing a dual horn set up? Anyone try it? And what is the stock horn - a high or a low?
I have 2 horns on mine but ran them off a relay. I use the factory horn supply to trigger relay. The less draw on those old wires in the car the better for my peace of mind.
Great way to do it ! Also, if you look at horn, I think it's marked high or low. May be a H or L. Been too long an none handy for me to see.
I'm using horns from a Cadillac, with a relay. I just wandered around Pull-A-Part with a drill battery blowing horns until I found one I liked. Spooked a couple folks, got a lot of strange looks... It was awesome.
I just took a box of old Maverick, Cougar, and Mustang horns and was sitting out in the drive with a starter pack seeing which ones blew and which were dead ...... I know a few people at the intersection must have been twisting their heads to see where the car was at that was honking at them to get going ......... BTW - found something out. On the edge by the rivit seam, the horns are marked - LO or HI - and when looking at that spiral shape from the inside out, it goes clockwise on the LO horns and counter-clockwise on the HI horns.
I'm running 4 horns on my 89 Ranger with nthing more sofisticated than running multiple wires off the factory horn wire. No relay needed.
The old guy that had my car had relays everywhere because he had 6 different horns--worst part, he drilled holes to mount the buttons for each horn on the left side of the dash tray...thanks for that buddy! But I filled the holes and got rid of the horns. I think it is a H horn, isn't it? I would like to know too. Please, anyone.
I have been wanting to set up dual horns, but didn't know I needed a relay? I could have sworn that my "original" Stallion had dual horns, was that an option? Anyway, what do I need to know regarding a relay, what type, how to wire it....? Thanks.... Art
