Default Re: headlight relay

Brendan, before you do that, test your horns with jumpers to see if a relay is needed. I don't think a '36 has a relay 'cause the horns don't draw that much juice? I believe the '36 horn is adjustable?

In any case, your horn button simply grounds the (pos) wire closing the horn circuit. Relays are normally placed close to the unit, with a heavy gauge hot running to the relay.
