I use car type relays which aren't totally waterproof (few relays are) so
mount them somewhere out of the wet (battery area or better: headlamp
shell).

2 I've found lying around are:

Ring RLFK 20 12V

Lucas SRB 525

Any car spares shop should have similar. Just ask for 12V single pole,
normally open relay.

PS. I use 2 of these to switch headlight beams, takes current from flimsy
switches.

PPS The Lucas relay looks fairly waterproof.

Relay should not click until activated by horn button.

Sounds like you've wired the relay coil to the ignition & then wired

horn straight through the switched contacts.

Relay should be wired as follows:

Wire from switched live (ie. wire that becomes live when ignition is

turned

on) to one side of relay coil and one of the switched contacts

(technically

the non moving side of the switch but not too important).

Other side of relay coil goes to horn button. other contact on button

goes

to earth.

Other side of relay switched contact goes to horn. Other terminal on

horn

goes to earth.


When horn button is pressed relay energises & shuts contacts sending

live

feed to horn.

You must use a "normally open" relay.

If you like I'll do a drawing & send it to you.

Tom,
Nice pics on the relay placement, but I have a question for you.
I am installing a pair of Fiamm horns on my Ambo as the stock unit

too

weak. I have aquired a Marelli relay to put in line between the

switch

and

the horns. It does work as I hooked it all up before screwing

anything

onto

the bike. One thing I noticed though is that when I turn on the

ignition

key, remember Ambos do not have start buttons, the relay makes a

"click"

sound like it is activated or something. Is this normal? I would

think

it

would make a click when I hit the horn button but why does it click

when

I

turn on the bike? If this is normal that's OK with me just want

opinion. Thanks for your time. Bob Hawkes
