horns on the front slam panel on the drivers side.

to the lefts the headlight, the 10mm bolt holds the bumper on, the earths are for the lights. The white wire that goes down at the back goes to the horn.

The spade terminal gets covered in crap and corrodes but sometimes th ehorn just dies.

the orions horns dead again.

aha but it isnt a simple electric horn!

square in middle is a relay...

i can see 87 is obvious

30 51 i guess is just a wire to the +ve batt terminal (preferably with fuse inline)

now would 85 and 86 be basically the "white wire" broken into?

yes its an air horn...gay or nay....its goin on

is it a tunefull one? It better be.

Gimme you old horn, or one of them as its twin horns on the 16V's.

Aye to 85/86. They don't run a relay as standard.

not musical ...triple horns tho! should be nice and granny scaring loud!

do i have to go all the way tot he batt terminal or is there somewhere else closer i can tap into?

all the way to the battery terminal for what? A permanant live?

Why not use the ECU live plug near the cambelt cover.

Mr Quoter-vator Joined: 16 Feb 2004 Posts: 7405

yeah that 30 51 wire...that has an inline fuse...looks like it wants to be live, prolly permenant innit as the horn always works with engine off.
