Okay, I will be getting a train horn kit soon and one thing I'd like to do is have a remote control to use the horns from outside the truck.

Problem #1 Most 12 volt remotes have two buttons, on and off. I would like to have a remote that acts like the steering wheel on the truck- sounds as long as the circuit is closed. How do I go about making the circuit open as soon as I release the button?

Problem #2 If the remote idea is feasible, how to I make it where there is two separate circuits controlling the horns, (ex. circuit 1 is the steering wheel horn control. circuit 2 is the remote). Two separate solenoids, one for each circuit???

Problem #3 I have a toolbox, should I contain the tank(s) and the compressor(s) in the box? I know the compressors() need to be away from the weather. but what about the tank(s)?

Anyone know anything helpful? Anyone else have train horns?

 

Are you to be removing your original horn? Is the train horns replacing your original?

I have never seen a remote system that does a momentary style switch (what your talking about) just 1 push on 1 push off.

Once you get your kit post some pics or send me a PM. I can help out with all of what you are asking.

 

Yeah, I figured as much in regards to the remote. I'd like this to be an "add-on" system. I know there is a 'how to' on the install with a two way switch to keep the stock horn. I'm good with the wiring and plumbing part, I just wanted to know how I would have went around the remote in the equation. I will post pics up once I have everything. Thanks!
