LS XR4046HC Horn

[lostcreekranch]

I recently installed a Nautilus Air Horn on my Polaris Ranger and really like it, really loud.

I'd like to install one on my LS XR4046HC but, cannot find the stock LS horn. Looked under hood and it's not obvious? Anyone know where it's located?

Pop the hood and look between the headlights. That's where it is on my 3037.

Thanks for the link. I just ordered 2 of these horns.

Yep, there it is. Totally missed it yesterday.

Thanks George!

Thought I'd post a few pics of my horn install. I did not remove the original horn, just unplugged it. I made a bracket and mounted mine in front of the air cleaner. I tried enlarging the directions that came with the horn (no way I could read that small print) but the full page enlarged view was too blurry to read. A magnifying glass did work to figure out the wiring. I ran a wire from the original horn plug on the firewall up to the relay which I mounted with the others not far from the battery. I have a nice loud horn now. For anyone else buying one of these horns and can't read the miniature printed instructions there are 4 terminals on the new horn relay. Here's the wiring pin out for the relay.

Terminal 30 - Battery positive
Terminal 86 - Wire from original horn button
Terminal 85 - Ground
Terminal 87 - Goes to plus terminal of horn

Minus terminal of horn goes to ground.

Nice job George! You beat me, haven't even started mine yet. I wish you would've let me know on wiring, I deciphered wiring a while ago when I installed one on my Polaris Ranger.

You're right, they will get your attention.

Thanks for sharing!

We have big storms coming this week so, maybe I'll find some shop time to get mine done too.

Edit: is that a video camera mounted on your very nice grill guard?

Yes it is a camera. I have one front and one on back and a 7" monitor on the dash. I got that idea from 94Bullit A backup camera for $50!!!!!!!!!!! - Page 38!!!!!!!!!!!
Monitor and 2 cameras for $50. I posted pics in that thread. I have bought extras of those and installed on my truck and friends trucks as well. Make trailer hookups easy. Cameras only seem to last about a year or so. I've already replaced 3 and just ordered 4 more for spares. I think they have a decent picture and resolution.
I wish I could have let you know earlier about the wiring but I just got the horns Thursday and didn't know you had it figured out..

I followed that same thread and bought same monitor and two cameras. I'm working on a protected front camera mount that will have a strong magnetic base so I can install on top of grill guard (my expanded metal is welded to a 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" angle so I have a flat area at top of grill guard). I'm planning on an extra long video / power umbilical so I can put it on top of grill guard, on top of pallet forks, behind tree puller jaws, etc. I'm working on a way to angle camera up / down inside protected mount.

I'm thinking of first trying to install the rear camera inside cab, with a suction mount on rear window just to keep it clean in dusty conditions.

I just replaced my front camera and mounted it to a piece of aluminum angle bolted to the guard but I'll probably go back to using the magnet so I can stick it to the forks (or other attachment) when needed.

I found some sturdy protective sleeving, on Amazon or eBay that comes in many sizes. That's what I will protect the video / 12 volt umbilical with. I'll send you the link if you're interested? It isn't very expensive.

Thanks Rick. I have my camera cables in wireloom that seems to holding up well.
