    My air horn on my VNL 780 is not working. The city horn works, but no response from the air horn when I push the center steering wheel. I would appreciate if someone would post a video of where the air horn is located under the truck and where the solenoid is located. I have been under the truck and have not located the horn. Either I am blind or the horn is missing.

    Has any one replaced the OEM horn with a Grand General train horn? If so, where did you mount the train horn?

    Air horn is under driver seat area. Air horn solenoid is on the cross member under cab. There is solenoids pack for air horn, suspension lower, fifth wheel slide, differential lock.
    Most likely you have problem on steering wheel slide contact or fuse but first have to check solenoid.
