I want to get a train horn set up, but it is the one thing my wife said no about getting for my truck. She thinks I would do something dumb and get in trouble She knows me to well

I was going to go for Train horns, but apparently they have issues in the cold (I'm in Canada)
I went for an amplified PA system... much more personal

Hey does any of you guys have a wireing diagram of you train horn setup . I bought a used setup of a guy but he did not have the instructions on how to wire the tank , pump , relay and the pressure switch up . I want to leave the stock horn alone and use a momentary switch to activate the horn. I got it all in and wired the way I thought but the compressor is not turning on to pump the tank up . The compressor works if I hook it up straight to the battery .

Now I have 15 gallons on board with 9 horns. Lol got a lil carried away But anyway.
I wanna see those
