Ulrich,

Could you confirn that none of the 5 terminals in the socket are jumpered internally? If the answer is NONE. This generic relay socket could be used for horn relay socket if you do the above suggestion.

If the horn continues to blow after connecting #30 and #86 to the RED wire coming from the fuse side, I strongly recommend inspecting the horn button switch.

Here is a simple test to perform. Do as Rich suggested (#30 wire + #86 wire to RED wire) but disconnect #85 before connecting the 2 wires to the RED (power supply). With horn relay plugged in, connect #85 wire to the Brown/White wire going to the steering column. If the horns sounded, the problem is caused by a grounded wire in the steering column or the horn button is already CLOSED.

Replacing a defective X'mas light bulb is more difficult that this horn relay/socket adventure. Just my two-cents.
