When upgrading an existing single tone car horn to a dual tone how complicated is the extra wiring?

No Simon, that won't work. What you are suggesting is wiring the two horns in series, and that halves the voltage so you would have two horns running on 6 volts. They need to be wired in parallel. A lot depends on how good the horn's relay is and if it can handle the load of two horns. My thought is that it probably will as many vehicles already have twin horns. The positive lead from the relay needs to split and go to the positive sides of both horn, and the negative of the horns to grounds. Ideally, two relays, two horns, two grounds. Look at the YouTube video of the guy that added a huge locomotive twin air horn. It is funny as he goes looking for jay walkers! If I remember he had to install a second battery for it as the load for the air compressor, made the engine stall. ..

Help with code radio for my nissan pp2787h

The radio code is a security feature that's meant to deter theft, and it's unique to each vehicle. If you've lost your code, you'll need to contact a Nissan dealership or service center and provide proof of ownership. They should be able to help you retrieve the code. Please do not attempt to use codes from the internet as incorrect attempts may lock your radio.

Xplod XM-554ZR Car Audio Amplifier: powr/protect light comes on red not green...

Hi, disconnect all speakers from unit and try again - if red light still shows then your amp has died.
If the light goes green, then start testing for shorted speaker/wiring. This includes speaker wiring to vehicle shorts - there should be an o/c reading on your meter

Can I plug a all in one stereo and amp into another high powered amp?

It shouldn't do, but the final amp may run into an overload protection situation. Basically you are using the first amp as a pre-amp to the second amp. I have done this before way back in the 1970s. Start them running at low volume on both amps. Another outcome is distortion in the speakers, not from the lack of capacity of the speakers, but from the second amp straining from data from the pre-amp. https://www.google.com/search?q=Can+I+plug+one+stereo+and+amp+into+another+high+powered+amp ..

Mecha error

Otherwise known as a mechanical error. The CD will not eject/insert without assistance. I have found a workaround for this, but have yet to fix it. If you take another CD and hold it inside the CD slot just beneath the ejecting CD, it will help to guide the CD out of the track. I also have to use a similar method to push the disc into the track as well.

2003 Jeep Liberty Sport 3.7l V6. I need a wiring diagram for the cooling fan relay. Please and Thanks!!!

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category. In England we call that a 'Bodge Job'. Why did they remove the relay from the Power Distribution Centre? The manufacturer design team usually have the best idea. https://fuse-box.info/jeep/jeep-liberty-kj-2002-2007-fuses-and-relay Wiring https://www.google.com/search?q=2003+Jeep+Liberty+Sport+3.7l+V6+wiring+diagram+for+cooling+fan+relay Best idea, a proper vehicle electrician (rather than a mechanic). I am wondering if the relay contacts got corroded or burnt. A proper electrical technician could replace the contacts. https://www.google.com/search?q=mobile+auto+electrician+near+me ..

Can not insert the code piloto on steering wheel does not work and the buttons from 1 to 6 do not work either?

Question edited for English apart from 'piloto', as too many Portuguese translations of it.. Code is entered on buttons on the radio, not on the steering wheel. Renault dealership will provide code and input at next service free. https://www.google.com/search?q=Becker+Carminat+with+GPS+device+code ..
