On the Freightliner chassis, they provide an air distribution block that is supplied by the air pressure system for the owner to use for air horns or use for hooking an air hose to put air into the tires. On this block are several plugs that one can remove any one of them and screw in the fitting needed for what you want to supply air to. In the case I was refering to, I screwed in the fitting to supply air to the air valve which supplied the air horns.

The distribution block on my '03 and my '04 is located on the "firewall" near the toy horn. It is recognizable by an steel air line going to it and plugs in the block that take an allen wrench to remove.

When I would push the horn button on the steering wheel, it would activate the air valve open and the air would blow the air horns.
