Hello Mark,
we have a winner! a 4 amp draw gives 8 amps for dual horns as factory
equipped, meaning that although the wiring is more than adequate, (#12
wire being good for 20 amps) the contact in the horn push may not be
up to the task as designed from the factory.
In goes a relay.
>Bill, The horn is a "buzzer" and the initial current draw is in excess of

>4 amps each when they are at room temp and working. Old dirty ones are more
>or less. At least that is what I see with a pair of TR horns I have in a
