I love endings like this. Any idea what may have caused the fuse to pop, Boocephus?

I think i remember changing that one in like 1992. 
The horn quit working on my bike, so I decided it would be cool to have a car horn. I took the one out of my pickup truck and bolted it on. After i wired it up, I pushed the key in and the horn started blasting without me pushing the button. Then, it stopped. That was why I had a bag of fuses in my garage. Bought a VW bus horn at Nationwise and that worked much better. Although I'm due for a replacement.

If you didn't put a relay in the horn circuit when you changed the horn...that was the problem.
New horn + too much current!!

As I recall, it was too much horn, too.

I dunno about THAT.
We had a nice discussion about twin FIAMMs a few weeks back.

I believe that was his definition of "too much horn," and I can't argue with him there.boocephus wrote:After i wired it up, I pushed the key in and the horn started blasting without me pushing the button.

True...but he took it off and replaced it with a VW horn and the fuses last longer! (?)
