payback

well... i get woken up today.


"WHERE THE ???? ARE MY KEYS!!!?!?!?!?!"

"Idk, why dont you look harder."

"WHERE THE ???? ARE THEY"

"did you check your car?"

"NO! WHY WOULD THEY BE IN MY CAR?!!?!"

"idk, why were my keys hidden somewhere in the garage?"



a few minutes later i hear slamming and screaming.

"MY ????ING CAR IS LOCKED!!! WHERE IS MY SPARE???"

"Oh, thats in your car too."

"WHAT?! YOU ????ING ASSHOLE. I HAVE TO GO TO WORK."

"Calm down, its just a joke. haha.. funny right?"



Then she stomps out of my room. my mom and her are screaming. then i hear my mom tell her to take my dads truck(which has NO gas.) and i hear her peel out of the driveway.

i did way more than i ever expected. so idk if the horn in the trunk attached the the brake light is really necessary. but i do still have to get her BF

If the horn has two wires, usually one is red and one is black. The tail light has two wires. Red and black. Easy enough.

Now...if it's a horn that grounds to the car...that's a whole different situation, but you still could splice a wire from the ground of the light to the bracket that bolts to the car.
 
ok, question.. did you recover your keys first? Because there's no way you're getting them now.

Well, the brake lights have 3 wires in our car, because of the bulb setup, correct?

In a setup where the brake light is also the marker light, I'm not sure. I never really looked at it when I had the Contour.

I don't see anywhere that she has a Contique though.

But, most people don't drive with their lights on anyway during the day, but she'd be really pissed at night. :laugh:

haha at the night part. im not sure bout our lights, but i assume its 2 voltage wires(one for parking lights, the other for brake/turn signal) and somewhere at the start of the wire is something that controls turning off the brake signal when the turn signal comes on. And then a common ground. If you could do it, the horn would go when the brakes come on, and also in conjunction with the turn signal. At least thats how I imagine it is set up. :shrug:

Another thing, my first thought was that hooking a horn to the lights would blow the fuse, but they did it in the video, so maybe not..

Right, but a lot of cars use a single tail light bulb for tail/brake/signal. Regardless, you need to tap into a signal wire, and not a power wire. :cool:

jesus this sounds like a lot of trouble. lets just wire it to the ignition :laugh:
 
On cars that have a separate brake light from a turn signal, the power wire is the signal wire.

For instance, my obnoxious back up siren is just wired directly into the reverse light. The power wire for the bulb is also the signal wire.

When you start talking about combined clusters, yes...you need the signal wire.
 
dont wire a horn to the brake light. wire it to the right turn signal. its so easy to do. you can just shove a horn anywhere in the engine compartment. i did it on my company van when i worked at a shop in cleveland. my boss loved it. the kid that drove the van... well he didnt like it so much
