any one know how much power you can draw on main horn cuircut?
want to replace main horn with something more beefy
and weather ill need too run another powerlin to it via a relay or if i get away with just wireing it the stock horn conector
-
The horn is on fuse 17, which should be 20 Amps, and as far as I can see there isn't anything else on the same fuse. The fuse is chosen to protect the wiring so you should be able to draw up to 20A safely. This is about 240 Watts.
HTH :y
-
great thats just what i need to know
it was 20 amp that i wanted to draw as well
so that will save me running other wires around
-
if you have only 1 horn fitted (as on my 2.2 elite) you could replace it with twin fanfare types. There are two connectors on the harness (one if notused will be taped back on to the loom.
Makes an amazing difference.

lol no it an 3L elite
but im in luton lol if you ever driven round this way lol
your know what i mean epecily in bury park area they just drive strait out in frount you 10 time a day and take no notice of horn what so ever

I wonder what 2 in paralel would be like
hence the question i was working weather to use a relay due to power drawor not
but it the acured to me its may be best use one as even if horn cuircut can handel the current draw
the horn button on wheel may not and it wouldent be cool if conacts welded there self closed lol ;D
remeber over 20 years ago when i was a young lad
and everyone wanted dukes of hazard air hourns a rather thick freind of ours
i knew thort it be funny to honk a tune at a group of hookes standing on a courner. one night at 2 am in the morning
should have seen his face when they stuck on and hes got head under bonnet with going full blast in his lug holes
trying to shut them up while half a dozen hookers are taking the piss
followed by us in car behind ;D ;D ;D
dont think he ever lived that down guy was a right muppet same guy that got pissed and spent all night try to chat up a tranny to someone had a ward in his ear
pity that we wanted tosee what happend when he found out about meat and two veg the hard way lol.

I see what you mean - had a pair of Maserati type air horns just after twotones where collared by the boys in blue.That used a relay off the horn switch and fed battery volts direct to the compressor. It was loud. Best of luck.
