Anyone ever play with a Hyundai Santa Fe?

Post by HumHead »

I know, I know, not my idea of the perfect buff truck either, but it's what the new Capt. is driving, and he wants the whole lights / siren / radio package in it.

Has anyone ever worked in one of these (2003)? Any tips on power, siren driver mounting location / models, horn ring, etc.?

I haven't even gotten my head into the interior yet, just curious what I might be in for...

Thanks!

Yeah...tell him to trade it in on a man's truck!

Hyundai horns are usually green/black or black/red at the column, but these are strange vehicles in terms of wiring. One week they use one color or item then the next week it might change. This must be due to the fact that they are a very weak company and outsources just about everything they use.

I just put corner strobes in one of these POS and really had no problem doing it. There wasn't alot or room in the front light housing....well at least where I wanted the tubes to be.

Having been taken advantage of and becoming somewhat of a 'mascot' for the board involuntarily, I must ask why subject yourself to the same scrutiny by asking such a question :lol: ???? 8) Seriously, rock on :-?
