    2 Horns Problem

    I did the Horn Mod (http://members.dslextreme.com/users/...stall_gert.pdf) using a 5 pin relay.

    It works great for horn #1 (connected to relay port #87). However, horn #2 (connected to relay port #87a) sounds when connected, EVEN WITH THE IGNITION IN THE "OFF" POSITION!

    What the heck is going on here?!

    Thanks!

    Uh oh...sounds like you do not have swithced power to 87A...i.e. always hot. Trace your connection...are those terminals being fed from different wires?

      I followed the tutorial (http://members.dslextreme.com/users/...stall_gert.pdf) to the letter.
      87A goes directly to Horn #2.
      I'm now reading on the forum that you can't us the 5 pin relay with the 87A port (contrary to the tutorial). I have to get a relay with two 87 ports.

        Any quick fix or do I need a relay with two 87 ports?

        Thanks!
