It got to a point to where the front end of my Platinum would literally vibrate when I pushed the horn (factory button)
im not sure how loud it was but, holy cpap.

2 Spyder Dual Supertone Horns

2 Nova-Lux Compact Electric Air Horns

2 Electric Dual-Tone Turbine Trigger Horns

1 Wolo Bad Boy Air Horn

Wolo Air Max 2 Trumpets Air Horn

I know how dumb it was and I should of added relay, etc... but i did not.

just spliced into and added.

AND then, of course, dead.

fuse is ok, relay is ok but no power to the relay.

could someone please tell me what a dumbass i was only AFTER we figure out where the problem is..

thank you for your time. and Happy Labor Day.

Are you sure your fuse is ok? how did you check it?
The fuse "should" be the first thing to fail.
 






engine compartment box
15 20A Horn relay power checked continuity with multi meter
 






Check both sides of the fuse for 12 volts.
You will then know you have power going through the fuse
 


















Wonder if there is a short somewhere now?

OK, no one asked so I will.....what's with all the horns??

I am guessing you did not put the wiring back to original when you did the repair.
 






nephew and I were trying to find a loud obnoxious combo with them. it was truly amazing. until now. everything is back to "normal"
 






Glad you got it sorted. You should get a set of train horns and a air compressor. Wire them separately, of course.
 












So hopefully you fixed it.. What is the loudest most obnoxious like a fire truck horn you found? Sorry couldnt resist. I want an airhorn but no room

I really wanted to do that , actually did buy all the hardware, but no place to install the compressor in the engine bay. do not want a tube from trunk...
