    it's almost like the people cant hear my horn when they're cutting me up or generally about to hit me... to my luck, my horn packed up as well.

    i got myself the 2 new red horns but have no idea about the wiring diagram! can i pries the terminal off the old horn and put it on one of the new ones, plug in and go or do i need to do some diy to install that relay?

    also, what might have cause my horn to stop working?

    thanks all!

    Cut the old plug from the wires and use spade connectors.

    If that fails use the + wire from the stalk on one of the spade connectors and the other wire you ground to the chassis so use the bolt you use to fasten the horns on.

    Most of the red ebay horns are not legal in the uk so might fail the mot.

    with the wires, there's the earth and a pink/orange wire. which one goes to where?

    CE = legal?

    One goes to each terminal then.
    CE just means it complies to euro legislation doesn't mean its legal.
