Horn electrics

[gin-fizz-whizz]

After the "lambs bleat" went completely unheard on the M23 yesterday , I just purchased myself a pair of low/high note horns made by Wipac (codes WH5786 and WH5787). Should be a straight swap for the in series OE items.

 

However, there are no fitting instructions in the boxes and the retailer said this is quite normal for their products. All I want to know is, as the horns have twin UNMARKED terminals, which is the +ve and which is the earth or does it not matter.

 

So I called Wipac technical support this morning and spoke to their support department who simply recommended I have them fitted by a qualified electrician as they can't give advice due to H&S.

 

It's a no-brainer I'm sure so help please.

Replacement horns from CC are earthed through the body of the horn so there's only one wire to it.

 

So get a meter & check if one of the terminals is connected to the horn body. If not then it probably doesn't matter which way round you connect it.
