[Shotimes] getting very horny

[Mike]

Horns are a good load.  The question is whether the exist. relay is
adequate.  If you have looked at the switch/clockspring system in the wheel,
you know the wiring is minimal, barely adequate for a relay.  But you won't
hurt anything by just pluggin' in the new horn; the worst that will happen
is the relay will arc and fail.  Of course the contacts may weld themselves
together; its quite a treat for onlookers to watch someone running around
wildly trying to shut down a runaway horn..........don't ask me how I know.
