    The only ones I've seen are rotary switches.  Radio Shack might be a place to look.

    Possibly a switch off an old stereo?  One for the radio, phono, aux ?  Just a thought.

    A rotary sw is the best way to have more than 2 choices, but unless you find a pretty heavy one, or find a stacked rotary so you can paralell 2 or more levels to carry the current, you will need a seperate horn relay for each set to avoid burning up the rotary sw.  Ovmf

    if you make the switch drive a relay for each one you will be ok-

     but even if you put 4 of them in parallel-it would still burn the switch as the horn will draw at least 10-12 amps.

    best switch for that would be one out of a tri light- the one that twistes for each light brighness!!!!

    and you can hide it under the dash-on the frame of it!!!!
