[QUOTE="PandaBoi, post: 1829571, member: 55736"] Hey y'all, So I know this subject has been touched on before, and I myself have brought it up in a different light in the past, but I'm back at the idea of relocating the factory horn and wires so that a thief can't simply use some extended wire cutters to snip the horn and then do whatever they want to the truck with no audible warning going off. Im curious to see what people have done and to pose two scenarios i have thought of as solutions: NOTE: I plan to install perimeter plus security module as well to make the truck super sensitive to random people messing with it. Option 1: Relocate the factory horn to the side of the grille/radiator so that the cables are not as easily reachable, reinforce cables with metal braids of some sort, and splice a connection off the wires that goes back under the hood to my secondary much louder horn. Option 2: Relocate the factory horn into the engine bay and move cable with it, splice connection in engine bay to run OEM horn and secondary horn. Option 3: Leave factory horn in current location, reinforce cables in front, splice into horn wires in wiring harness farther back to power secondary horn. The [B]biggest issue[/B] I currently see is that [B]the wires that feed the horn in the front are part of a thick wiring harness and split off with about 6 inches of length near the horn[/B]. Due to this, I see [B]no way of achieving total security to the wires powering the horn without un-braiding the wiring harness and pulling out the horn cables farther back[/B]. Does [B]anyone have schematics for this harness and if there's a way to pull off those cables farther back in the engine bay[/B]? My preference as of now is option 3 and finding the horn cables in the wiring harness further back in the engine bay so i can just split off them there and run to the second horn. I like this because if a thief thinks he/she managed to cut the horn, little do they know there's another surprise waiting for them when the alarm does go off. I also think this would deter them to leave quicker since they wouldn't expect it and wouldn't know where to find the horn and hopefully ditch and run. Thanks y'all in advance! [/QUOTE]
