I did the harbor freight 10 dollar install....... Very disappointed. Worse then the stock.

Has anyone traced the "second" horn output from the fusebox? There is a fuse in the position, which leads me to believe that there is a wire that comes out of the fusebox.

wondering the same thing actually....i just started this mod at lunch and wasn't able to quite finish (stupid stock horn bolt location make for harder than it should be removal)....anyway in replacing the M23 fuse from 10 amp to 25 amp i noticed that the M23 fuse diagram has it labeled as RT horn and there is also an M22 fuse that is labeled as LT horn....we only have one horn so what gives....also help with the wires would be appreciated...i didn't have a second hand to push in the horn while i tested with my multimeter to figure out which one was positive and the stock horn was not labeled either so doesn anyone know which wire is which....there is a black wire and a yellow wire....thanks for the help anyone....

o.k. some more questions....after reading through the $30 horn upgrade thread which is identical to this one there is a post about not replacing the M23 fuse with a 25a fuse for fear of frying the computer in the jeep and to run it through the supplied relay with an inline fuse instead....something about this being a TIPM module or something....anyone out there in electrical land shed any light on the validity of this....

I like this horn. Notice how the driver puts on hearing protection prior to sounding.....
