This is the same original concept discovered and so successfully implemented by Charles Kettering, the inventor of the electric self-starter. He reasoned that a small starter motor could be designed to briefly take a huge Ampere load that would quickly cook the motor if run continuously. Same deal with a horn. Other electrical elements on our Chrysler 300's are not as tolerant of even temporary overload.

The horn BLAST and the starter really cranks the motor over. Both of these items are now 49 years old with continous use and haven't failed.

I used the factory 6 volt horns that originally dressed my 48 Chrysler coupe. Clean them up, dress the points inside and then connect to your 12 volt system. Sounds like a Union Pacific freight train.... jettlarry@xxxxxxx <mailto:jettlarry%40aol.com> Larry Jett 510-794 7911 Newark CA -----Original Message----- From: Rich Barber <c300@xxxxxxx <mailto:c300%40ez2.net> > To: 'Gary Nelson' <gnelson@xxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:gnelson%40glnelson.com> >; Chrysler300 <Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:Chrysler300%40yahoogroups.com> >; 'randyguyer' <randy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:randy%40shadyoakdist.com> > Sent: Thu, Mar 29, 2012 10:40 pm Subject: RE: [Chrysler300] I need 300C horns Seems like some of the Imperials used three horns.
