Bungled horn install, eating fuses.

change your relay, and yes, weatherproof it, and youre good to go.

here's the connections as a refresher:
stock wiring +12V --> relay 85
battery +12V --> relay 30
horn +12V --> relay 87
horn (-) and relay 86 --> body ground

if you want you can insert an inline fuse from battery +12V to relay 30, your best bet is somewhere closer to the battery than to the relay.

makes sense?

^ This is nice.. will save for myself - needed ignition controlled power for my gauges recently (now fed through cigarette lighter.. will change now)
