12 volts for 6 volt horns

Posted by casey rog On 2019/10/26 10:10:52

I am having a problem with the horns on my41 120. I am running on 6 volts and the horns sound fine when I run the car and ground the wire that is supposed to go to the steering wheel horn button. When I try the steering wheel horn button the sound is weak as if I am not making good contact at the horn button. All the wires are of the proper diameter and new. My question is can I run the horns on 12 volts without any damage. I start the car on 12 volts with the battery under the front seat and run the car on 6 volts with the battery under the hood.
Thanks in advance for any help.
