I bought a set of horns with a relay harness for my Honda, the bike has one horn with a single positive connector, the set that i bought has 2 connectors each, positive and negative, how do i do the conversion?
do i just ground the negatives and use the positives? I am not electrically inclined
Thanks!!
 
Some horns are internally grounded through the mounting bolt(s) and so o ly require one hot wire to make them go. Others are not internally grounded through the mounting stud and so require two, a hot and a ground. Ground one side of the new horn to the frame using a short wire back to the mounting stud and use the original hot wire to drive the relay would be my suggestion
 
Really should use a relay (If supplied) and the current draw is likely to be higher than what is currently available - the horn my not work unless it has enough power especially if sebel.
 
Yes guys, it cane with a relay, will connect it after work, hope i dont set the bike on fire
