Horn and delay help needed

[waynedear]

Me and electrics are very strange bedfellows.
Fixing the horn is all that is stopping me using the bike now.
Anyone able to say if the current position of wires on the relay is correct.
The horn is brand new and I have checked it with direct power.

Looks good to me. 86 is normally the trigger live and 85 is earth if you can figure out what's what on the two switch wires.

Also check for 12v on 85 & 86 when the horn button is pressed, this should close the relay contacts allowing 12v to pass onto the horn itself via the 30 to 87 path, you may be able to hear the relay click when the button is pressed.

Thanks gladers and spaceman.

Can it not just be wired direct if it's a standard horn? I'm sure my Honda doesn't have a relay (that I'm aware of!) in the normal loom. I only put one in for the denali.

A previous owner had fitted twin tone air horns with a little compressor... I have removed all that (wasn't working) and fitted a single FIAM horn, I might try it without the relay and go direct.

Beep Beep... We have a horn.
As Biker 9090 suggested I have removed the relay and gone direct... Lovely loud horn on the button.
Just need to put all the bodywork back and get riding now.
