i put an ez wiring harness in my 46 i came with a horn relay.
i also replaced the steering mast bearing and horn parts in the wheel. is there a way to use the relay in my harness with the
old horn button? as i see it now my options are wire the horn up just like gm did and call it good, add an ugly horn button,
or make the old button work the relay. any thoughts? philip

Yes. use the relay. It is the preferred way. Hook the wire from the button to the B term. on the relay. Hook a hot lead to the B term. Hook the wire from the horn to the H term. Ground the other term on the horn & make sure the relay is grounded. If you are running 6 volts you will need a 6 volt relay.

Use the wire from the original button.

philip t,

Is your horn also a '46 version...probably. If it has two terminals on it, one will have to be grounded permanently while the other will now get power through your new relay.
