Not sure where to put this..
Want to put a toggle switch so I can switch between my regular horn, and my train horn I am installing.. Where would be the best way to install this? Any help/ideas?

You need to find the horn wire coming from the steering column and tap in there. Remember to use the same wire from the train horn. Usually the wire to the steering wheel is the ground, not sure if it is on the Ram.
You will have to use a two position, three terminal switch, or a double pole single throw. So you will have the wire from the one horn on one side and the wire from the other horn on the other side, the switch will go to one or the other. Then from that you will connect to the wire going to the horn. You may have to have two wires from the switch going to the horn wire, then attach the one wire to that.
I hope this helps and doesn't confuse you more. Let me know if that helps.

iagree That's going to be a PITA to wire up. Why not just add a switch for the air horn to operate separately.

The switch will either connect the two left wires, or the two right wires. Like I said, you need to make sure the train wire is the same as the horn wire, positive or negative. Usually they are negative switched, but you would need to make sure.
Sorry for the poor diagram, lol.

I can wire up the valve for the train horn how ever I choose, that's no big deal.

Found some good info..

Hornblasters install on an 06..
http://www.dieselpowermag.com/...tallation/index.html

Wiring diagram telling me which is the horn wire..

http://64.85.6.121/diagrams/pr...elID=17262&MakeID=16


So what I have to do is get a 2 way switch, and put the wire off the horn in the middle, one side my stock horn, and the other to a relay doing my valve for my air horn! Jackpot!

Wired it up last night.
Cut one wire under the dash, and horn still worked so hadda fix that, lol, then cut the other and it stopped the horn. Put it to a toggle, and wired it up so when you hit it in one position horn works, and in the other position, the other will work. No air supply for my valve/semi horn, but the valve clicks! Woohoo!

I mounted a set of Hornblasters "Conductors Special" on my 2007 Dodge Megacab. I have it wired to a separate switch mounted between my overhead lights. I want to rewire them to a my stock horn switch. What wire on the 2007 is used to run the stock horns & where can I find it. Also does anyone know where the stock horns are located?
