True. Ideally you might want to power the horn with a relay - use the switch to control the relay. Short relatively large gauge wires deliver power to the relay & then to the horn. The light gauge (& likley longer) wires are used only to trigger the relay. Eric Russell Mebane, NC Quoting Wayne <wmc_st@xxiii.com>: > Not a dumb question at all.
