Question about hella horns
 
1 Attachment(s)
I just brought the hella horns today and I saw the diagram to do the wiring. Its kind of confusing so I look it up here on CL and I saw this diagram so I'm just going to use this diagram but I don't know where the wire 86 goes. Does anyone install this hella and know something about it?

86 taps into power wire for the stock horn. When you press horn the power from 86 switches the relay from normall closed to open so power from battery goes to the hella horns.

I installed mine using a how to somewhere on CL. All I did was connect the original horn wire to the positive on both and made a ground jumper from the ground terminal on the horn to the screw that I used to mount the hellas. Works just fine without the relay.

Edit: I did not realize however, that they are not as loud if you connect them the way that I have. I will be changing them this weekend when I take them off to paint them and align them better.

So the 86 wire connect back to the oem horn? The one in the front behind the grill?

Can someone explain to me what the deal with these hella horns is? I have seen several posts and i looked on youtube and it doesn't seem to be that special.. Not trying to knock your install or anything just trying to figure out if I'm missing something?

They're just really loud, like ear-piercing loud. They also look kinda nice :p

86 pin connects to the wire that comes from the steering wheel, which is the wire that is currently connected to the stock horns. unplug the wire from the stock horns and wire it to pin 86 of the relay. the stock horns are automatically grounded to the mounting screw.
