Abstract
A horn activation system for a lightweight utility vehicle can comprises a pressure sensitive horn switch (PSHS) operably connected to a horn button. The horn button is operable with the PSHS such that pressing the horn button compresses the PSHS. The horn activation system additionally can comprise an electronic switching device communicatively connected to the PSHS. The electronic switching device is responsive to a horn activation signal transmitted by the PSHS when the PSHS is compressed in response to depression of the horn button. The horn activation system further can comprise a horn configured to receive a current flow resulting from the electronic switching device closing a horn control circuit upon receipt of the horn activation signal.
