Not to sound crass but did it come with an installation guide?

Personally, I think you should install it back in the box and put it on EBAY. Those belong in movie cars, not real life automobiles. Train horns, maybe. Ooga horns, NO WAY! And don't even think about a ricer horn. If I hear a beep beep coming from a pickup there better be a road runner at the wheel and a really mean a** coyote chasing it!

Call the manufacturer, they should be able to help you out. Or you could try looking on their website.

So it didn't come with instructions... did it come with a wiring schematic? If so, post it up. Can't be more than a few wires... I'd imagine power, ground, and possibly a separate trigger lead.

You could leave the original horn as is and wire the new horn to a separate button under the dash or wherever you wanted it. That's an option.

Shouldn't that horn just have one wire for power and maybe a ground?

This is not one of those horn sets that are made of plastic, is it? If it is, I don't think you will like it.

"Dixie" is a beautiful song when it is played slowly, as was intended.
