In Reply to: Considering our existing horns go through a relay already, it's a simple drop-in replacement in my eyes. Thanks!! n/m posted by The Max on September 19, 2002 at 03:42:05:
these horns take in a lot of juice...i've seen tons of threads on the .ORG of guys who tried to get away from custom wiring by attaching it to stock. a couple few and a few tears later, they did their own wire up.
plus, if 3rd gens are like 5th gens, there is only 1 wire going into the horn. what i did was use that as my 'horn activation' or signal wire and popped that into a relay. another wire from relay went to battery for power...other wire from relay to ground and last (4th) wire went from relay to 1 horn, spliced in the middle and then sent to the other horn. horns also grounded on their own, but same location relay was grounded. believe me man, stock relays can not handle it. i believe stocks are 10 amp fuses, and this thing needs at least 30.
you can either:
1)risk it, pop in a 30 amp fuse, see how it runs. risking frying the wires
2)do the complete rewire...i'd go help you do it, but it's not worth the $1000 plane ticket ;-) though if you did pay for the ticket, i'll buy you the horns for free...=)
