Need quick help on wiring air horn to relay.
Well I'm trying to install some air horns. Just need some help on wiring the relay. I want to run it to a momentary switch with 2 prongs. Which part of the relay do I wire it to?

take the factory horn wires and run one to pin 84 and the other to pin 85 that will turn the relay on when you press the stock horn button now take a power lead from the battery and run it to the 86 terminal on the relay. and terminal 87 is now the power feed to the horn compressor. The other side of the compressor gets a good ground and honk away

Re: Need quick help on wiring air horn to relay. (SiYouLater)
Would this work?
30 - fused power (to battery)
87 - air horn +
85 - Ground -
86 - switch
And then ground the switch. Does that look right?

the 86 term would need power. you need power (+) on 85 and negative(-) on 86 or vise fersa. either way will work.
but I would since you have a fused power sorce for the worns and the relay, run fused power to both 30 and 85 then run a ground trigger from the momentary switch to 86. then 87 is the out to the air horns
