    M1009 Horn Replacement

    Nope. Let's go back to the basics. Every relay needs two things to operate its trigger - 12v and ground. If you have both of them, the relay closes and power flows to whatever device is attached. Of course, we want a switch to control when that happens. Sometimes we give it a constant...

    M1009 Horn Replacement

    12v from the bus bar to the relay (pin 30), then one switched 12v lead from the relay (pin 87) to the new horn. The horn is probably grounded through the mounting bolt - see the instructions on that. The relay (pin 85) needs to be grounded. Your old horn power lead connects to pin 86. :tank:
