does anyone have any idea how to make this work? i have a red and a black cable coming out of the siren and i have the original green with white wire connected to the fuse box.. any input will be helpful, thanks

Well with a 12V system I doubt youd fry it if ya hooked it up backwards ( similar to speaker wires, etc). Youve got red/black, you need, input/ground. Take the horn, and some ear plugs id assume, and touch them to ur battery. but just a quick tap. Thatll help you find the polarity of the wires. Id bet the black is ground. In most wiring situations, if those are your options, the black tends to be ground.

 

If the stock horn only had one wire to it, your green/white, then it was probly self grounded to the chassis and the green/white is ur power.

black to neg and red to pos on your battery

That looks to be a real siren, they have a motor that spins a drum inside if it's not working it maybe stuck from siting around and you might have to free it up and put a little light oil on the bushings.

Ground the black to the mount of the siren and hook the red wire to the stock horn wire.

can you post a video with sound? I have an older spinning siren somewhere in my boxes. It was in my first 280ZX but not hooked up.

Only police and emergency vehicles are allowed to use sirens. Probably really illegal to use it, beware.

 

Also it doesn't shut off right away and continues for like 30 seconds after releasing the button. More than enough time for the cop to walk up to your car after pulling you over. "Where you going? To a fire?" :lol:

ha! Like someone would be using it while driving. :blink:

I thought of it only as an accessory for a car alarm.
