What is the max current draw on this horn? Does it have an in-line fuse? What is the fuse rated at? Thanks

There is no in-line fuse or any wires included with the horn. It had been a little while since I installed the horn, but I believe the horn draws 5 amps

The fuse is wired in-line.. Rated at 15 amps.. It goes into two horns (wired in parallel to each other). The horns face downwards to be less pervious to water.. I also soldered all the wires.. And made sure the wiring was well insulated..

On my two motorcycles Triumph Tiger 1050 and Yamaha Super Tenere 1200 i just used the same horn plug, never had an issue with the fuse.Now if you plan on using two that may be an issue, i only use one horn.

Using the famous internet search engine....each trumpet draws 6 amps, and so the combined (2) trumpets draws 12 amps. I don't know what the maximum amperage you can push through them. This is a standard, reliable horn set.

I would suggest something mid range like 15 amps but definitely nothing higher than what was on the unit. The reason you blew the fuse was you put to high a load on it. By putting a higher rated fuse, your risking a fire.

Not sure on the exact draw, but these are meant to be a direct replacement to your stock horns. I have them on 2001 crv - no issues.

Hi L, it is a two piece horn. One horn has a 500hz tone; the second horn has a 600hz tone. No relay is used or needed. Very easy install.

Yes. The same thing happened to my jeep so I bought this horn and ran the wiring myself which is very simple. It does not use any of the factory wiring.

I used a 10 amp fuse and it worked very well. My amp meter never pulled more than 5.5 amps in any mode. Hope this info helps.

Stands to reason that since my Solstice was originally designed and fused for TWO horns and reduced to ONE horn to meet GM's, read Bob Lutz's, goal of $20K sell price, the originally designed 10A fuse (unchanged) should work just fine! In any case, if fuse blows the only function affected is the horn (FSM wiring diagram!).

On the last page of the instructions it mentions a fuse. You will have to open up the back with a small phillips screw driver, you should check that. There is a small thin silver wire that runs through the glass tube of the fuse. It is very small and hard to see. Amazon should have the fuse to purchase. 5 Qty. GMA 200mA Fast-Blow Fuse 250v GMA200mA, GMA 200 mA I try only to use the two right side ports since they are fused and I often use the wrong settings.

It's all self contained. It is very loud for a small set of horns as well. You will need a 12 volt relay (about three to five dollars) as it requires more amps than just passing voltage through a button.

It comes with a 10 amp fuse, the only reason for the fuse is it is probably smaller than fuse on that circuit in your car, so if it gets shorted or overloaded it will blow first I put a 15 amp fuse in mine and it works fine I use it in my boat and use a spotlight while charging my cell phone

maybe you put the wrong connections ...try to Chang the connection to your horn and see if it works...

mine as 2 fuse, but either way this is a class D. it is very power efficient... no good on sub to use on 4 speakers great choice

It will be louder. As long as you wire it the way you're supposed to - with seperate relay and fused circuit - it should be fine. I found this horn to be much louder than my pickup or my sedan's horn. Maybe your truck already had louder than average horns. I think some GMs have rebadged FIAM horns that are very loud.

The unit is 12 Volt, 2 Amp plug in. There is not an external fuse, maybe internal. If installed in a 12 Volt car, it would be prudent to install at least a 5 Amp fuse in line.

I believe the amp has built in fuses, or are you talking about for the power wire in line fuse to the amp?

the electrically operated (or triggered) air solenoid is mounted in between the horns. you are correct an AIR SOURCE is required for these AIR horns - they are not electric. all the is require is an air source & 12v trigger
