Did you guys try taping something over the horn to mute it a bit? Bet it would still be effective at half decibels. Maybe you'd get more value out of it that way than just disabling it altogether.

 

It would have to be a LOT of tape I think we're headed down the right paths. Y2KPSD has disconnected his and I am going to spend some time figuring out a relay connection so it can stay intact and be turned on/off with one of the upfitters. Now that I know it has a Packard connector on it, I will try to buy one and wire it up.

I definitely don't want to disconnect it but rather be able to control it. Epic -- you would not believe how loud this thing is. Maybe I got one that has been juiced up, but I believe it is the same horn they use on those earth moving machines. When I first triggered it, sleeping babies were crying from a mile away!

 

I have not disconnected it. I want the option thru the upfitter switches as well.
I think another poster disconnected it.

 

My bad. I will be working on it over the holidays. See what I can figure out.

 

Marauder92V ,
What kind of unit did you get.??

 

Marauder I gave you reps for getting up off the couch, among other things,well done.

 

Thanks man, I appreciate it!

 

no problem, look at you with 400 post's, I like your avatar puppy

 

Wow! Didn't even realize how many I had. I guess I ask too many questions!

I like the puppy picture too. BTW -- here is what I really look like

 

was that pic taken on your wedding day?

 

Nope, after my sex change operation... I should have probably saved a little for the dentures

 

Just for grins I think you should post a video of the alarm.

 

sure we need to hear it, that will wake me up !!!

 

How do you power your snow plow? Is there a connection up front under the bumper for the lights and the lift motor?

My point is, could you wire your backup alarm in series with your plow power so that it only works when you attach your plow? All on AUX 1 maybe?

 

The plow hasn't been installed yet. The wiring harness for the plow will have a power lead and relay for the lights that I might be able to use. Got to see how the local installer does things. I am a bit concerned over a possible conflict with the HID unit I will be installing.

I will post the backup sound once I can find a family member who is willing to get in it and put it in reverse. They are always a little tentative on my new cars and even more so on one that looks like it could go into battle!
