Yup, that is for the power to the OEM horns but there is a relay for them as well.

The trigger wire from the relay on your air horns should just tie in the one wire going the OEM horns. 12 volt trigger system.
I think your over thinking the install.

The relay helps you connect more items so you tax any one single circuit meaning four 20 amp items on one wire.

I'm really not the best at explaining this, sorry

I think installing one horn is easy.. I can do it .. it think.. but 2 horns make me confused with all the wire amp thing.. let me post the instructions..

here it is..

Ah shit I not home now be back in an hour or two.

Just tie the power supply from air horns together an attach to the + terminal.
And tie the two trigger wires together and attach to the horn wire.

So there are two wires for the OEM horns one + one -

Use the red OEM and black OEM for 86 or 85 wire from the horn as the trigger wires.

And as you can see by my truck there is lots of room still to add wires at that terminal

Note if your worried just hook everything up except the trigger wires and just tap them to the battery to see which one is positive and which one is negative.

I have one of relays sitting around somewhere but I forget which one is + and - at 85 and 86 I think it doesn't matter it's a separate circuit any way


Give Noah (The Car Stereo Company) a buzz he would know for sure if your still worried.

I did some editing Sniperm!!!

So I'm getting shit for my wife about being on the forum and not giving my complete undivided attention to her. LOL

But anyway did you get it?

I'll try again,

You take the two term 30 wires tie them together each one with it's own 20 amp fuse and attach to the power block term on the fuse box.
Then run each term 87 wire separately to each horn + wire. and run the grounds to truck from air horn.

Tie the two term 86 wires together and splice into one of the OEM wire + , tie the two term 85 together and splice into the OEM wire -
(if I remember correctly top to bottom is + to - and right to left is + to -)

So in sort, term 85 and 86 will not draw any amps (just a couple of mil amps to throw the micro switch) to close to circuit between 87 and 30


Let me know if I'm still confusing you.

give me a call at the shop, if you need help (650) 938-3511. i just got here and will be here all day. it is a very simple process, if you know what you are doing. but relays can definitely be confusing the first time
