Hi,

What is the current draw of the 6v horns? My relay has conked out it seems, and I need to get a replacement. I just wanted to understand what the correct ratings should be.

Thanks,
Mike

From the classifieds a 6 volt bosch relay. Rated to 30a although the draw id considerably less.The fuse in the circuit is 16A but that also carries turn signals, wipers and stop lights
