No relay but there is adjustment underneath the cover, held on by the single=
 center screw.   Set up a way to blow the horn from the engine bay, a remote=
 starter switch or helper behind the wheel work well for this. =20

Take that, you poo-poo head!



I might just as well stick out my tongue at them.  Makes the same amount of n=

So, I have solid ground and good current going to the horns.  I seem to reme=

ew Hampshire, I'm too lazy to dig out my electrical diagram there. =20



Thoughts, anyone?
