They show relay #49 wired as follows:
Terminal 30 - to Fuse panel and terminal 86 (Red Wire) - This is the power to the relay coil and the horns.
Terminal 85 - Horn Button (brown/white wire) - this ground the coil via the horn button.
Terminal 86 - Jumpered to terminal 30 (red wire) - this provides hte power from the battery to the horns themselves.
Terminal 87 - To Horns (Yellow/Black wire) - This provides power to the horns when the coil is energized.
Terminal 87a - Not used |
Ulrich,
All the above statements are
correct. To do the tests that I mentioned previously, you need a continuity tester (Multi-tester) or a simple test-light in conjuction with a 12-volt source to trace the wire's continuity.
The picture you attached shows only
4 wires but you said
5. For your horn relay socket, you need only
3 wires coming out from the socket to complete the wiring set-up. Namely,
#30 (#86 is bridged with #30),
#87 (power to horns), and
#85 (ground wire for he coil) going to the steering column.
You can test the individual wire for continuity. So each wire from the socket will correspond to a particular terminal (pin connector) except #30 & #86 (jumpered). After you identified the wires for terminals
#30, #85, & #87, follow the wiring diagram and connect. Do you follow?????
Keep us posted.
