OK I did realize the errors of my ways etc I did not read Dennis’ e mail correctly took the idea of a closer power source … the resisters up front ( know that they are not the power source }…. with a look at the Bentley P 87.3 and jumped to the conclusion that the relay for the high speed fan was by the fan.. seeing the wires poking through a hole in the baffle only connived me …more …. It seemed like a good easy way to hook up the new horn power right close by and could just use the wires going to the original horn to activate the relay THEN Watched the Gowesty install video for their air horn …. I do not have their kit … but it is the same basically Minus their kit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIxwSEtNFsc
As per their video instructions to hook up the relay I located the Brown wire with the Blue tracer #15 with the yellow area and the Black wire with the Yellow tracer #13 yellow area The Black wire Yellow tracer checks with continuity to be ground The Brown wire Blue tracer one would assume would be the HOT when the horn ring is activated ……. But this does not seem to work Checking with the Fluke and do not get 12 volts from this wire when the horn button is activated
Any idea which wire is the + horn wire if it is not the Brown wire Blue tracer as per Gowesty
thanks ed Am back to not getting my posts so not sure if any one is getting this until get a reply
