- Okay, this is getting me steamed. Any advice appreciated. I determined that the new horn relay I purchased was bad, because I couldn't get it to work. A second, new replacement arrived today. Same pr

- Sounds like you may have the connections wrong on the relay. If the relays are exactly like the originals, then there should be 3 labeled connectors on the relay: W1, C1, and C2. W1 connects to the

- Joe, you're the man. This relay is a poor replacement choice, as it's going to require me to create a splitter off the main live wire to feed two terminals instead of one. I'm going to let Nigel at S

- Does the relay click when you supply 12 vdc and ground from the battery with test leads? Will this cause the horn to blow? No: Check polarity of relay. Some are polarized with a small diode inside to

- Thanks for your assistance. I tried posting a reply to Joe Curry to the list, but it never showed up. Joe gets the prize for figuring this perplexing problem out. Details and photos of the culprit,

- That's not unusual at all in relay design. Often you have a control set of voltages and current running the relay that is isolated from the current being run through the contacts. Low voltage powerin
