Re: Car horn power source

I have a 10A fuse in place so i assume 17A would be enough. The drawing from "Timwhy" above pretty much explains it have your battery coming into terminals 86 and 30 on the relay and put your fuse along that connection somewhere and away you go i would think

Re: 12v for Horn

Thanks for that, will look at that cable when i get home. If its the same one i am thinking of then it was a bit loose in the steering column last night when i was poking about. If that earth cable is loose should i not still be getting 12v somewhere on the circuit though?

Re: aftermarket horn

Sweet just about to undertake something similar myself that wiki really helped. Only question is, on the relay on terminal 86 the cable goes to the switch and then on to a power source. Is that source just the battery as well?
