How to Hook Up My Horn in My Civic

The horn on the Honda Civic is an important safety feature. When sounded it alerts other vehicles to potential danger or near crashes. If you decide to install a custom horn, or just replace the old one, it can be done at home in your own garage. Replacement horns can either be ordered through your Honda dealership or local auto parts store. It takes about 20 minutes to switch out the old horn.
