You'll have to tell us what cart you have (serial number will do) and whether it already has lights etc.

The easy answer is "yes" but if it doesn't have a light kit and/or a reducer then there are other things you need to be able to just add a horn.

If it doesn't have a reducer (to change the 48V to 12V) then you can either add a reducer for a 12V horn or just fit a 48V horn. Either way you will also need a momentary action switch for a horn button (which needs to be able to handle the same voltage as the horn).

Edit: I just saw your other post asking about lights. A light kit covers both lights and horn so you only need one post. I also notice from the other thread that the cart is a 2104 Precedent.

OK, well it should have a reducer (because most/all light kits are meant for 12V).

It is easy to check, just measure the voltage across one of the lights. If it is 12V then you have a reducer, if it is 8V or 16V then it is just running off one or two batteries (not a good idea), if it is 48V then any horn you add will also need to be 48V.

My Precedent doesn't have a light kit so I'll leave it to someone who has to tell you which wires to use.

Good luck and welcome to BGW.

Thank you yes I assume it has a reducer. This is a recent purchase light kit was installed by dealer I have not been able to locate reducer as yet.
As noted I am also trying to figure how to wire a 3 post headlight switch with LED indicator.

The reducer is probably on the steel plate behind the front wheels (effectively behind the dashboard but get to it from under the cart).
