Connecting a horn to your brakes can enhance safety, but it’s crucial to ensure your wiring is done correctly to avoid shorts. Check for frayed wires as a starting point.

Also, while you’re at it, ensure that the connections are tight. Loose connections can create intermittent issues that are hard to diagnose.
Good point! I’ve had that happen before. You might want to use a multimeter to diagnose electrical failures more effectively.
It’s also worth checking if your horn is suitable for the voltage in your vehicle. An incompatible horn can lead to failure and frustration!
Exactly! And don’t forget about grounding issues; a poor ground can lead to all sorts of problems.
