So how does the diagram in post #695 get away without the brown and green? Unless the Pma doesn't need it. If the Pma doesn't need it, does my question from 695 pose true?
so i got this little problem i got the horn hooked up so the hot lead goes to the horn button and the lead then goes down to the horn spade, ( two spade horn) then the other spade another lead goes to ground, hit the button horn sounds, then the fuse blows (10 amp) in the wiring diagram there is a hot lead going directly to horn and the horn button activates to ground why does my wiring blowing fuses?
that did not occur to me, since the horn and all the wiring is new, but i did measure the draw to about 18 amps when the button is pushed down. with my multi tester.and the horn sounds weak not loud and crisp.
18 amps..............no wonder your fuse is blowing!
It must be one honking big horn (pun intended ) So where did you get the monster horn and what are the specs for it?
no stock placement on Mikes website but the Canadian version of it

BTW thanks never would have thought it was the horn
It was not the horn!, so listen , hot lead directly to horn spade, 2nd lead going from horn to button, button acts as ground and completes the circuit. its a wonder the way i had it hooked up that it would work at all. Thank Retiredgentleman you made me look in the right place, learned something about horns.
has anyone out there used a small lithium battery without changing the charging system to a newer electronic model...I heard the older systems might over charge and damage the battery
Thnx for the reply...just got on the Shorai website and learned a lot..thnx again..also found better prices than I was looking at with a different brand! sonny
