I installed a Hella 3 horn air horn last week, and I keep blowing fuses? Anyone have any sugestions on how to fix it.

Thanks

Blowing fuses repeatedly means you are drawing too much current through the circuit. Maybe you have an intermittent short. Maybe you installed the Hella air horn without an auxiliary relay. Did the new horns come with a relay in the box? If so, it was there for a reason!

There was no relay, and it said that it could run off the stock horns power.

Perhaps the Hella compressor is binding and drawing too much current... but I still like the relay hypothesis.

There was no relay? Because it should come with a relay, mine did.

Where'd you buy it from?
