Re: Signalltone air horns

Lots of car enthusiasts use non-stock (aka. LOUDER) horns.

A quick way to test these horns is to simply hook them up to a battery charger (such as a 6 or 10 amp model). It may not have the power to produce a full blast of noise, but will definitly tell you if the still work.

You could use a set of jumper cables and the van's battery. However, this is not safe, even if you use an in-line fuse. A battery produces enough power to produce serious sparks/burns if the hons are defective and have an internal short.
