Replacing Horn

I need to replace the horn on my 2014 Winnebago Sightseer. It's a Ford F53 Chassis. It looks like the power wires that go to the horn are of a plug and play type. Is this correct? If so, it seems like the replacement should be a simple fix.

Thanks

Now is the tome to install an air horn. I installed mine separate from the regular horn, but isn’t hard to wire into the OE horn wire to use the horn switch. Mine also came with a different horn. It’s a small air horn type. Sounds better than the OE horn.

Good advice......maybe.
IF you are installing a replacement that is similar to the OEM horn, there is absolutely no need to go to all that trouble.
If nothing on the package or instructions for the new horn mentions anything about a relay, then you likely don't need one.

I would definitely install a relay to avoid frying your horn button on the steering wheel. Relays only cost a couple of bucks, are easy to install and pretty much fool-proof.
I added a much louder horn from a Chevy Kodiak and I am sure that it draws more power than the original circuit could handle.
Even on my Goldwing, my replacement horn fried my fuse so it has its own relay.

Replacement is simple. there are several different connectors that may hook up the horn but worst case you cut and splice

Yes, should be easy.

Just study the old one a bit and get a replacement with the same number of electrical terminals and a similar (or adaptable) physical mount.

Note: if you are getting one that is a LOT louder, a relay probably will be needed.
