Title: Horn Relay
Post by: Steve Wood on August 13 2013, 12:06:31 AM

according to the manual, the horn relay appears to be part of the convenience center.  Someone asked me where it is and I don't recall any relay plugged into the center which is just a box that plugs in.  Does the center open up to reveal a horn relay inside?

I changed the center in a couple fo cars to fix a chime and never say a relay

Where ever it is, it works great for nitrous activation through the clockspring/horn ring. :D

I should give credit to my brother for that one.

We still used individual relays under hood to activate the solenoids.

Granted we lost use of the horn with our design, but with a toggle switch you could probably keep both functions.

Or these days there are so many triggers on the market that it negates the need to do silly shit like this... but, it was fun when we were younger.
