Well, my time went so quickly,
I went lickety-splitly
Out to my ol' 55.
As I pulled away slowly,
Feelin' so holy,
God knows, I was feelin' alive..... Tom Waits, Ol' 55

A twelve volt horn should not take as much current. Now, on the other hand I don't know if your horn contact set is as substantial as the one in the AD truck | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 866 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 866 | I found a nice original horn, can I use it with my 12 volt system without any mods!

Now if you're part of a wedding party and laying on the horn as you drive through town, that 6V horn isn't going to be happy! | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 866 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 866 | Thanks waldo, I thought that was the case! | | |
