ES electrical issue

This is a basic diagram showing how to wire horns using a relay and the stock horn wires. Eastern Beaver no longer carries the excellent harness he produced. Posi connectors provide an easy and neat way to make the few connections required.

Another source for what look to be well made harnesses. Look very much like the Eastern Beaver harness. https://www.cycleterminal.com/horn-kits.html

Is 85 or 86 the +?

85 and 86 are the relay switch and polarity does not matter. When you press the horn button, current is passed through a small coil that magnetically closes the switch between 30 and 87 to the load.

No worries. Just want others to understand how this situation happens.

Thanks all for your invaluable feedback. When I return home from Ft Lauderdale I'll correct my horn wiring.

Be sure to check fuses with a test light or volt meter. A visual check will often lead you astray.

+1. Very important!
