Subject:Re: Adding Horns. B+ (30) To Power Horns OK?
From:Chris S
Date:Thu, 21 Apr 2011 10:50:45 -0400

From horn button to Toggle switch  Toggle switch routing power to either factory horns or relay trigger side.  From relay power side to angry horn. Of course you do have a fused power cable going to relay as well.   Flip switch to angry mode and display a toothy grin when mashing horn pad. 

I plan on getting a cattle horn and run an independent ciruit. I would use to motivate dimwits, entertain bystanders, and to commune with nature. 

Chris.
