I have a 9v battery but would it make a noise from that or does it really need to be 12v |

Try it. Shouldn't be too hard to rig some wires to try. |

I think what deg is trying to figure out is if the horn works and wants to test it on a 9 volt battery ??? I'm not sure as I have a horn I could test here that I know works but no 9 volt battery ... |

Yes but you can't help the vague questions. No, horns require too much current, which 9 volt batteries cannot provide. Horns can use quite a bit of juice. Use a car battery charger instead, it has 12 volts and a little extra mumbo, or do the right thing and get a multimeter, can't go wrong, they start at seven bucks these days. |

only if you tape the 12v end across your exposed heart. The 240v end is a different story. |

12 volt adapter what? No you won't get electrocuted, unless you cut a 240 volt plug..but you do will ruin whatever that 12 volt adapter thing you have is. If you mean a 12 volt power supply for a phone or whatever it is, they often have a very low current capacity as well. Get the multimeter, avoid the bodgy shite. |

take the horn to another car and just put the leads across the battery |

Or just unplug someone else's horn and connect yours . |

Nahh , unplug the wires from their starter motor and hook them to your horn , scares the bejeeser's out of them , can be fun to watch them try and figure it out too .... Kept an Engineer at Goulburn scratching his head for an hour we didn't call him Goombah (for nothing
