Train horn button? Where?

[DUstroker08]

Anybody with train horns..where'd you guys put your push button? Pics would be appreciated

I tapped into the factory horn wires so I could use the steering wheel button (factory horn button). I use one of my upfitter switches to toggle back and forth between the factory horn and the train horn.

any pics on what it looks like, and when the train horn is actuated does the regular one still sound?

i didnt want it to replace my horn so i put it right behind my blinker. i got the button from auto zone, but it was only a 5A button so i put 25A fuse on it (not that hard, they helped me with the idea but it was too simple) the button is really small and does good/looks good.
btw i wired the horn compressor and button to the radio in the passenger floor board. (again, not hard at all, i was impressed)

Yes, when tapping into the standard horn wires, the original horn will still sound when the train horns do. Can't really hear it though.

In regards to the factory horn honking -- yes, it still sounds when the train horns are "active," but you'll never hear it. Personally, I like the idea that it still honks. If I'm in an emergency and go to honk the train horns but they don't work for some reason, I at least have something making some noise.

Black switch is for methanol, the red button is for the train horns.

I recently went to a black button, looks much better.
