Default horn button?

I was wondering if anybody knew if the 2nd gen daks have two separate horn buttons in the wheel or is it just one?
I ask b/c I'll be installing a train horn soon and I don't wan't it to be my only horn as it is SOO loud.
and I want a fairly clean dash

I don't think so, but I do know that for mine, which is a 2000, the horn is on the front next to the radiator. There should be 2 sets of wires, and eachset hooking to a separate horn. It should be one button, tho.

You can always just run the train horn on a seperate system. You can operate it by a switch inside the cab.

Single horn switch in teh wheel (airbag). You could put a micro momentary pushbutton somewheres in an inconspicuous spot for teh air horn. Just use it to activate a relay so you dont have alot of electricity running through it.

I'm running a tank and compressor B/C i'm also planning on an airbag suspension too in the semi-near future.

the button will activate a solenoid so there won't be much power through the switch.
All i need is the compressor and I'll have my whole system together.
