Martin,
I would like a drawing if you have time, I'd be much obliged. As a note,
the relay I have is a Marelli relay. The contacts on it look like so:
|-------------------------------------|
| A |
| | |
| | __ |
| | C D |
| B |
| |
|_Bobs Marelli Relay __________|
I have jumped A and C by soldering a short wire to each contact. B is the
ground. D goes to the hot side of the Fiamm horn. The horn is grounded
just by attaching the horn stalk to the frame of the bike. The hot side of
the horn wires from the bike itself attache to A. (I did this set up per
instructions from Sport Cycles.) Perhaps I got the contacts screwed up but
I did check combinations with test leads before arriving at a set up that
actually made the horns sound with the tinder box horn switch. Your
assistance is appreciated. Best, Bob

Make George do double duty with amazing deals from TopOffers. http://click.topica.com/caaacgOb1dfltb1FlG8a/TopOffers ============================================================ Relay should not click until activated by horn button. Sounds like you've wired the relay coil to the ignition & then wired the horn straight through the switched contacts. Relay should be wired as follows: Wire from switched live (ie. wire that becomes live when ignition is |
| on) to one side of relay coil and one of the switched contacts |
| the non moving side of the switch but not too important). Other side of relay coil goes to horn button. other contact on button goes to earth. Other side of relay switched contact goes to horn. Other terminal on horn goes to earth. When horn button is pressed relay energises & shuts contacts sending live feed to horn. You must use a "normally open" relay. cookie If you like I'll do a drawing & send it to you. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Hawkes <haw-@frontiernet.net> To: <Loopfram-@topica.com> Sent: Monday, July 16, 2001 11:37 PM Subject: Re:
