Guys I want to play a prank on a friend and wire his horns to come on when he hits the brake pedal. I can't find the horn button in any of the schematics in the FAQ, so I need some insight into it first. Is the wire that runs up the steering column to the horn carry 12v or is it ground?

 

OK, I found a schematic that showed the horn switch. The wire carriers ground which is what I though. So there goes my plan on hoping the brake light switch goes to ground to energize the horn relay.

Anyone have a different idea for a prank?

 

Dude, your gonna F up and cause this guy to get either in trouble or crash cause it scares the crap out of him.

Don't go messing with other people's cars like that. Doesn't matter how good of friends you are. You probably wouldn't like someone to rewire your car. Since there is splicing of wires involved, both of which go to safety systems, especially the brake lights I'd advise you to pull a prank a little less invasive. When you start messing with the electrical system you could open up a whole new can of worms for your friend. Especially on a car that's no less than 15 years old.

Playing harmless pranks on your friends is fun, but this could potentially be a harmful or expensive prank. I'd personally be pretty pissed if anyone started splicing wires on my car, no matter how harmless it was intended to be.

 

Ok, so heres how to pull a really good prank on him and his car! I did this to one of my friends and it was hilarious! So first, you need to pop the hood. I'm guessing since you already considered splicing wires that you have the keys to the car and can navigate most parts of it without any heavy equipment. Next, look on the driver side of the car, on the firewall. Thats where you can find the horn relay. Next you need to find the red wire with white stripe near the radiator, also on the driver side. It should be near the evap canister. The next step is all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down. And I'd like to take a minute - just sit right there and i'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called bel-air.

 

there's no splicing needed, just run a jumper wire into the back of each of the terminals, easily done. I'm no dumbass with wiring, I just don't have any schematics on third gens. Thanks

 

What a bunch of idiots. I hope your "friend" isn't like me. If he is, you'd wake up one morning and find your car completely disassembled and scattered in your yard. Ask the guy who thought it was a good idea to put sugar in my gas tank once.

 

hey sleep wat did u do to his car tell me details

 

Wow, this is really kind of funny. Unfortunately it's in the sad kind of way. Anyone else care to jump in an show what an internet tough guy they are?

 

I'm not an "internet tough guy", kid. I dont like people screwing with my car, plain and simple. I'd bet you'd be pretty pissed if someone ****ed with your car too, so grow the hell up and leave it alone.

 

Hum sure you aren't. Your response speaks to the contrary. Kid? Not hardly. A simple prank that would cause no issues get blown way out of proportion simply because I couldn't find schematics on the car. It's ok, the idea won't work out the way I planned it so I'll think of something else. Don't worry I won't need any assistance.

As for sugar in the gas tank, that's not a prank. Pranks are harmless. I am sure am glad my friends have a sense of humor.

 

i sure hope you and your friends don't come close to my car . the last people that did [ trying to steal my wheel center caps ] met MR. BROWNING . sherriff said they picked 12 pellets out of ones a$$ and 5 out of the other ones a$$ . have fun and enjoy , be prepared to make new friends . MR. COLT, S&W BROTHERS , and of course MR. BROWNING . cost me a new windsheild , worth every damn cent .

 

Ya think...

Guys, the guy asked for electrical help. Now you might not agree with what he is doing, and if so, dont answer him. But if your going to post, try and answer his damn question.

And thats nice Uncle Tom that you were willing to shoot somebody over stealing parts off your car. Hurting you or your family is one thing, but over that is just rediculus. And don't flex your muscles with what guns you have, because there are plenty of people on these forums that have bigger and better guns then you, me including.

As for being on topic, if this thread is still open when I get home, Ill look in my manual.

 

Another good prank............PARTS NEEDED: Bottle of El'Cheepo (cheap) tranny fluid & X feet of vaccum line....... pop his hood, disconnect a vaccume like (like the egr or maybe he has one with a plug on it allready) anyway hook up the hose u have, now find a place to set the transmission fluid so it wont fall over, drill a hole in the cap just big enough for the vaccum line to fit in, shove it all the way in the bottle.............shut hood and sit and wait........here is what will happen, when he fires it up that vaccume line will suck up trans fluid and put it in the intake, making a HUGE cloud of smoke out the exhaust......plus if he crys about it, i been told ny old mechanics that its actually good as it lubes and cleans the valves......... BE WARNED IT IS A HUGE CLOUD OF SMOKE, we did it to a friends POS caviler that smoked some to start with........ well lets say when he left work traffic had to stop to let the smoke clear, MAKE SURE YOUR FRIEND HAS A SENCE OF HUMOR, AS DID OUR FRIEND, WHO THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNER THAN ANYTHING...... AFTER HE FOUND OUT IT WAS A PRANK.........HE FIRST THOUGHT HIS MOTOR WAS TOAST, HE LAUGHED HARDER THAN WE DID

 

Maybe its just me but tranny fluid going into the engines combustion chamber doesnt sound good.

Heres one you can do, take off his gas cap and replace it with a locking one.

 

locking gas cap another good one..................BTW the tranny fluid thing, i have herd a few old guys talk of it as an actuall "maintance or fix thing" (lack of better words), not sure, dont seem good but alot of things that dont seem good actually are, i donk know, would like to know if it does actually help, now i KNOW using Seaform, Berrymens, or what have you in a vaccum line does work to clean valves, runners, and your CC, and it will smoke up a storm also.....hell its $5 a bottle, it would actually be a favor that would scare the heck out a friend who didn't know it was hooked up. I do know another "old school mechanic" trick for that kind of stuff is diesel fuel, thats basicly what injector cleaner is................ i will talk to a few "old school mechanics" i know about the tranny fluid thing get them to explain it and see if they will do it to one of their own cars, i will post what i find out if its good or bad

 

want to know a better one? do you know how easy it is to change the ignition key tumbler is? Just buy a new one with a different key, swap it out. Good for a few good laughs

 

or you could just buy a tailpipe whistle an put it in is tail pipe and it will squeak like somethings wrong, lol, when i was much younger we did it to all the cars on our street, it was funny

 

trans fluid = MMO. Alot of goldwing riders use it to keep the motor and carbs clean. Works great too, but too much will smoke up.

 

This one sucks, makes you look stupid, it's good for a laugh, and it's completely harmless (I know it's been pulled on me)

All you need are some very long zip ties and access to his driveshaft, tie x amount in various places along the driveshaft, them you sit back and watch him as he tries to figure out why his car ticks and taps only while moving!
when/if he figures out what's causing it they'll have a good laugh as well (I know I did)

 

A lot of the pranks on this page seem harmless. But the horn to the brake pedal idea is a good way to distract somebody when they are trying to negotiate a stop. Accidents could arise out of that.


I like the zip ties idea. I might use that someday.

 

messing around with the horn or any of the controls like that isn't cool.
i like the zip tie ideal, nice
but its kind of hard to, plus you get dirty doing it.
for something thats quick & easy, some toothpaste under the outer door handles. it works great, you can be done in seconds & the look on their face is priceless. this also works well on the bottom side of the shifter handle.
for escalation, Ben Gay or Atomic bomb works pretty good too, but if they wipe their face or eyes, expect an @ss whipping later on.
also, some Atomic bomb on top of the arm rest gets some pretty amazing results too.


a side note, if someone is stealing something off your car, they deserve what ever bad things happen to them.

 

I still say the whistleer in the tail pipe

they also come in packs of 2-36, look at the diffeerent auctions for them

 

The whistles go "woooo-wooooooo"

I wouldnt go as far as welding one in, lol, when ive had them you can adjust them to stick so its not permanent.

 

Those people are some of the dumbest people I think I have ever seen. Did you see them almost hit that white truck and run the stop sign?? I couldn't understand but two words they said. They need to get off that crack, and go buy some food with there food stamps. Not trading them in for crack.

 

WOOOOO WOOOOOOO!

Those type of people whine about anything.

 

me? I hate and I mean hate harleys with removed baffles they are so noisy and sound like the eng. is ready to spit out it's valves. the only cool thing is watching those bikes stall in front of my house and barely restart I guess that's what they get for cheap "up grades"


the horn deal is not as bad as you guys are making it out to be. he would hear it as soon as he was going to leave. it's not like he is at a light 5 min later and it goes off. and then hits a bus full of kids pushing it off a cliff


I will agree though I would be pissed if my car was messed with aside from the bubble wrap prank we do every once in awhile. if you get a new guy they slam on the brakes and get out to see what they hit

 

Really the only thing I hate car-wise is fart-cans. I don't understand how "diarrhea" and "performance" got welded together. Those two should stay as far apart as possible...ugh.

 

even cheaper:

LOL

 

damn the whistle seem like something i would have to put a bag over my head to drive the car, seems like something you would see on rice rockets and cars with 24" wheels
the dumb "a" on the videao "it goes whoooo whooooo"

 

HAHAAHAH

 

Man peeps need to lighten up. Sure a prank can be taken to far but man............Would I do something like this at 43.....umm NO. Back in high school........Umm YEA heck we used to put peeps car up on blocks on lunch.......so when they went to get outa school at end of day they had to take there car off the blocks and all kinds of different crap as well. Kids will be kids.......That half the fun of growen up

 

i dont know, im only 23 going on 24 in a month...................i know some 50 y/o that are up to a good prank/laugh anyday, in fact they are the ones that tought me how to prank........ i think the prank thing comes and goes, dont wake up thinking of pranks, but if the mood is right and all why not, as long as you know the person you are doing it to is going to laugh as hard if not harder than you. BTW no offence CrashOverKill
