Default Question on installing Aoogah horn

My horn has arrived and I am going to install it this weekend but I have a question on the installation.

I am going to use the instructions on the PT DIY site and use a Relay to wire it up instead of the way the instructions with the horn say (directly to the battery -- via the fuse of course).

For some unknown reason I can't locate the 20A Fuse and Relay as mentioned in the PT DIY instructions, but I did get a 30A relay and fuse. Is it OK to use the 30A combination or should I follow the instructions to the letter and keep looking for 20A relays and fuse?

Color me... ignorant on things electrical!!


Thanks.

I would try to find a 20amp fuse to use instead of the 30a. provides better protection in case of a wire rub or short.

When I installed mine I used an in-line fuse holder with a 20a fuse to feed the relay. Also used a 1a fuse in the feed to the switch.

Thanks Frank, I will search a little further afield tomorrow for the 20A fuse and holder
