Toyota 4Runner Horn Upgrade

I’m not sure why any modern vehicle has a horn that sounds like the 4Runner horn. It’s wimpy and pathetic. It sounds like it’s the same horn from a 1980’s Honda Civic. Needless to say, my 4Runner needed an upgrade. In this video, I demonstrate how I installed a horn from a 1994 Ford F150 into my 1997 Toyota 4Runner SR5. I got the Ford horn from an eBay seller for $10 (plus $7 for shipping). One thing American vehicles have never had a problem with, the horn. I’ve seen other write-ups about how to do this and they made the task seem daunting, but I found this to be an extremely simple project. It’s one wire.

    Thanks for the video. I have some f150 horns on the way and I found your site while searching for info on the upgrade for my ’96 4Runner.. It looks easy enough. Some people have mentioned using a relay, which seems unnecessary, and it appears you didn’t use one. We have the same fj cruiser wheel swap by the way. Anyway, just wanted to thank you for your contribution and let you know someone found it useful.
