What’s in Your USA Train Horns Kit?
Before you even begin, ensure you have all the components included in your USA Train Horns kit. Typically, this will include:
- Your genuine USA-made train horn(s)
- A high-performance air compressor
- An air tank with the necessary fittings
- Air hose(s)
- Wiring and electrical components (relay, switch, etc.)
- Mounting hardware
- Installation instructions (always the first thing to read!)
General Steps for Installing Your Train Horns:
1. Plan and Prepare
First off, you need to plan carefully. Choose a Mounting Location for the Horns: Select a sturdy spot under your truck or in the engine bay where the horns will be secure and have plenty of clearance. Make sure they aren’t obstructed by any moving parts or exposed to excessive heat or debris. Next, Plan the Compressor and Tank Location: These components also need secure mounting. Ideally, the compressor should be in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating. The tank should also be easily accessible for draining any condensation. Finally, Gather Your Tools: You’ll likely need wrenches, screwdrivers, wire cutters, wire strippers, electrical tape, and possibly a drill and drill bits.
2. Mount the Parts
Once you have your locations planned, it’s time to mount. Using the provided mounting hardware, securely fasten the train horn(s) for your truck to your chosen location. Ensure they are pointed in the desired direction. Then, mount the air compressor and air tank in their pre-determined locations, making sure they are stable and won’t vibrate excessively.
3. Run the Air Lines
After mounting, connect the air lines. Connect the air hose from the air compressor to the air tank, ensuring a tight and secure connection to prevent leaks. Following that, run another air hose from the air tank to the train horn(s). Again, make sure all connections are tight.
4. Wire the System
Wiring is crucial for functionality. Connect the Compressor to Power: This usually involves connecting the compressor to the truck’s electrical system via a relay to protect your existing wiring. Be sure to follow the wiring diagram provided in your USA Train Horns kit carefully. Typically, you’ll connect to the battery (with a fuse for safety) and a ground. Next, Install the Activation Switch: Choose a convenient location inside your truck’s cabin to mount the switch that will activate the horns. Then, Wire the Switch to the Relay: Connect the switch to the relay, which in turn will activate the compressor and allow air to flow to the horns when the switch is pressed.
5. Test Your USA Train Horns
Finally, it’s time to test. Once all connections are made, carefully test the system. Turn on your truck’s ignition and flip the activation switch. You should hear the compressor start to fill the air tank. As soon as the tank reaches pressure, a short press of the switch should unleash the powerful sound of your USA Train Horns! Be sure to check for any air leaks and ensure all components are functioning correctly.
