[QUOTE="TomInPA, post: 1136137, member: 21394"] What he is really saying is that the FJR horn always has current in it, and the horns are activated by the button sending the current to ground. It does not work to activate the high beam bypass because the current is always on enough to trigger the Clearwater control bypass relay. My solution was to incorporate a relay inline with the horns. Get a normal Bosch or simialr 4 or 5 spade relay. You need any wire from the horn to conect to Terminal 85 then route the terminal 86 back to the OEM horn or horn button. Put current from the battery through an inline fuse or fuzeblock circuit and bond that to terminal 30, then the load goes from terminal 87 to the white horn bypass wire on the Krista/Erica/Glenda. You can also split that wire from 87 to power an airhorn or aftermarket horn. Basically the horn wire on the FJR is always hot, but it won't trip your relay without a ground completing the circuit. If the relay is wired in series with your horns, the horns will still work, and a separate 12-14 volt current will be sent to the light bypass circuit only when the horn button is pressed and the 85/86 circuit is completed. The relay switch adds no appreciable load to the horn circuit and is safe for the relatively small wire and horn button contacts. You don't need a high amperage fuse in the circuit going to term 30 unless you also have an airhorn. All you're doing is sending enough current to trigger another relay in the Clearwater controller.
