Re: [ST] Stebel horn

[" Kevin Dicks" <rawsonboy@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's all getting a bit confusing :)

I was responding to this comment:

"so i understand correctly. follow the instruction per twisted throttle"

Which I took to mean this was not testing the horn so much as installing the
horn.  If he is installing the horn to be used, the wires from the switch go
to the relay, not the horn itself.  If he is testing the horn, there is no
need to involve the switch at all.  Simply connect the horn directly to the
battery with short wires of the appropriate size.  And....be ready for the
noise :)

It was to test the horn, because he thought first the relay
was broken. You can check the relay itself as well by hooking it up before
connecting the horn. Press the horn button and you can hear the relay click
to switch. Wiring the horn directly should have caused it to give full blast
upon touching the battery, with thick enough wiring at least. Make sure the
air inlet is not blocked by something, otherwise I guess it is broken (no
problems with my Stebels so far).
