For the electrical gurus excepting Dan… I quess.

Well think what you want about Dan, but he won't steer you wrong. By asking this question very question you are exhibiting a deficiency in automotive DC wiring methods. Wire up the horn anyway you want, it’s your car.

My 2 cents for anyone reading this thread:

Wiring a push button direct between battery and horn will result in a melted push button.

The problem is most push buttons are not rated for much amperage, cannot provide positive tight contact sufficient to keep switch closed without arcing. You have to employ a relay in the circuit to handle the high current draw that a horn requires which can be safely triggered by a push button switch.


Mmm I don't know if your talkin about just any push button or a aftermarket horn push button you can put on your dash, but I got a horn push butten for my dart & hooked it up just as the paper came with it told me to, but just to one horn, did not even tell me to use a fuse & it ant melted nothing, work grate for past 8 years!
