Horn cars was a name given to a range of dealer-modified passenger cars, usually Ford Falcons, sold at Australian Ford dealerships in the 1970s. The term "Horn car" comes from the Horn Car Accessories company which supplied the parts used to modify these cars. Horn cars were an initiative taken by Max McLeod, who owned a Ford dealership in Rockdale, New South Wales, a suburb of Sydney. McLeod would add a range of visual modifications to his Falcons - typically spoilers, sunroofs and wild tape striping along the side of the vehicle - in order to make them stand out from the crowd and give his customers the chance to buy a "unique" vehicle. The concept proved popular and was soon employed by other Ford dealers around Australia. From Wikipedia under the

I woke this morning to a loud constant noise, and found out it was my 2003 Buick Rendezvous' horn on a constant blow. The neighbors were thrilled to be waken also. I started the car and it went down to a dull blow, then I shut it off and went to open the hood and the blowing stopped. What would cause this, and should I drive it to work this morning? Asked by Emolie - Fri Jun 29 06:31:02 2007 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. You may have had a short in a wire. Starting the car and jarring it when you opened the hood may have ,temporarily, knocked it back into place. You are probably safe to drive it to work but should have a mechanic check it out as soon as possible. It could also be a faulty fuse. Answered by albodad - Fri Jun 29 06:48:17 2007 My car horn is not working and when I press it, I hear this clicking noise on the far right-hand side. Wat up? Q. It's a '96 Chevy Cavalier and in the fuse map thing that's right by the steering-wheel of the car, it doesn't say anything about the fuse for the horn. So I don't know if it's a fuse-related problem or something else. Any thoughts or suggestions for help? Asked by Bryan - Tue Oct 13 03:11:19 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. The clicking sound is a relay, which takes a small electrical current and delivers a large electrical current. In this case, the small current is running through your steering wheel and is completed when you press on the horn; the large current is a high-amperage current that powers your horn. Since the relay is clicking, the signal is getting from your steering wheel to the relay, and the relay is likely working. So that's not the problem. Most vehicles have fuse boxes under the hood as well. You'll have to open the hood and look for a black box, which will often have a diagram similar to the "fuse map" you found by the steering wheel. Check if there is a fuse for the horn, and if so check (and replace, if necessary) the fuse for… [cont.] Answered by Densetsu - Tue Oct 13 03:31:10 2009 How do you wire a horn into a car?
Q. I am thinking of purchasing a horn for my truck and have no idea how to wire it in. Do I need to go through the fuse box? I know i can ground it out on the metal anywhere on the car, but where do I put the Positive wire? Asked by Erik - Mon Mar 26 21:56:24 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. The current to blow the original horn(s) comes from the horn relay. You can unplug the original horn and plug the wire into your new horn. Or if you want the new horn to blow at the same time as the original horn(s) splice a wire into the wire going to the original horn(s) and plug it into your new horn... Good Luck...
