Is it safe to listen to loud music when driving?

Music can be good at lower levels to keep one awake when driving long distances. But at loud levels, it is a distraction. When a person is surrounded by all the music and bass and starts dancing and singing, they are less focused on the road. Also, if it's too loud, it may overpower the sound of another car's horn or police siren. That is dangerous too because the person might not notice until it's too late.


How do you wire a car horn without a relay?

It is not advisable to install a car horn without a relay. The current draw of a horn is too much to run directly through the car and horn switch. Relays are used on items that have a high current draw for this reason. It is an unsafe practice to not use a relay in these conditions. You would not want to catch your car on fire.

What are legal car horn alternatives?

Most U.S. States Vehicle Codes only specify that a vehicle horn may not exceed the standard 110 decibels, or otherwise emit a harsh, or unreasonably loud sound. You may NOT equip, or otherwise replace your vehicles horn, with any siren, whistle, bell, or other type of audible warning device that is intended for emergency vehicle use only, if in fact your vehicle is NOT an emergency vehicle. (If you're a volunteer firefighter, check with your department for usage regulations.) I know of people who have substituted their vehicle horn for a boat horn-- that is, one that produces the same volume, but at a much higher pitch than a standard passenger car horn. Provided you don't abuse or "overuse" the horn, I doubt anyone in law enforcement will pay too much attention to your having it. For your State's Vehicle Code, which would outline the specifics for your own State, run a search in Google. Example: "Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Inspection Code". Or call your local State Police Agency with questions.


Where is the horn located under the hood on a 1998 Plymouth Breeze?

My horn on my Plymouth Breeze was under the front manifold of the car. Have a friend or family member get inside your car and honk the horn as you listen for it. I would advise wearing ear plugs though, unless your car horn doesn't work. If it is not working then look under the manifold in the grill slots, and also maybe underneath the manifold. I have seen them there before too.
