Re: [ST] Stebel horn



I found out that the switch is negative interrupt (at least on
Triumphs). If you hook it up as per Twisted Throttle (negative to
frame) the horn will always sound. Connect the negative to one of the
two original wires from the horn (not the orange) and you're set to
go. Took me a while to figure it out but it works.
