Whelen Cencom Carbide Programming - Button to Enable Horn Ring

[aggmeister2010]

Hello All,

I'm trying to program something that I thought would be rather simple, but I can't seem to figure it out.

I want to program a button on my Carbide controller to enable the horn ring air horn when depressed. So....when it's not on, I can use my factory car horn. When I press the button, any time I honk my horn, it's the air horn.

Trouble is, it seems like everything I try just makes the air horn turn on as soon as the button is depressed. Any ideas on how to program this function?

Attached is the screen I'm working with, and all the outputs that my installer enabled.

If I understand you correctly, you should be using the switch in question to enable/disable the horn relay output, which will route your horn to the factory horn, or to the horn ring input.

Yes, that's what I want to do. On the screen shown above, if I enable "HornRelay" with the Flash pattern as "On," the air horn immediately activates with the press of the button, and only deactivates when I turn the button off.

It should be noted that I have changed the button type to "press on / press off", that was just an oversight when taking the screen shot.
