find the feed wire that runs up the steering column and tap into that. Put in a three way on/off/on toggle switch and run one side to the std horn and the side to the air horn. In the off position obviously nothing will work but one way the air horns will operate and the other the std horn. Mount the switch within easy reach.....go to town.

I take it you want your steering wheel pad to activate the horn, be it either your air horn or standard horn... And I take it you will be mounting a changeover switch on the dash/underdash somewhere?

You need to find the wire that comes from the touch pad, going to the horn. From there tap into the switch, a changeover style, freely available from Repco or the like. Then from the 2 outputs, one will remain as your standard horn active, the other as your airhorn active. Remember though that airhorns generally require a relay because of the large power draw requirements!

And drama's let me know, and I can send you a sketch of the system!

the touch pad earths the horn. just incase ya didnt' know that. you you would have it so when ya flick the switch it earths the relay.
