Thanks for the replies guys.
Im all set to wire up the Brown wire to the Mota-Lita boss horn terminal BUT
I'm still not sure what to do with other three wires. Remember I am not
using the original trafficator, so that means I'm left with three bare
wires. Do these have to be earthed? If so I cant see how I can do that in
the boss.
