So I'm trying to wire a 7 pin rocker switch to a horn that is wired through a relay. I understand how to wire them each independently (rocker OR relay) but can't quite grasp how to tie them together. I'm keeping the relay wired up for now and will go backwards from there. Can anybody help me make sense of these together????
The horn directions assume I'm going to cut the stock horn and wire these in instead. I'm not. I want the stockers to stay on the steering wheel and the new ones on the rocker switch. Please and thank you. Every time I wire them up wrong, I short out a component and have to order a new part. It shouldn't be this difficult.
Can you link to original instructions? Stupid Progressive advertisements are blocking in the pics and I cannot get them out of the way.
In the picture you have a circle around an item that says “what is this” in drawing 2B. That looks like your stock horn that it wants you to eliminate.
If you’re not going to hook stock horn switch and horn into the new ones then just follow the diagram in the second picture. The plain white one that isn’t clutter with advertisements.
Just my thoughts but 16 AMPS seems like a huge fuse for a horn system. What are the specs on the horns?
Here's how I'd do it in my Jeep. Pardon my MS Paint skills. They are horrid.
Alternatively, you can move the fuse so it's not inline with the coil of the relay to only protect the horns. Again 16AMPs for a horn seems really high. If you can link me to the actual product I might be able to give you more insight on your fusing.
