Now that my MOPAR Hood Lock Kit has arrived after FIFTY WEEKS on backorder, I plan to finally install a pair of Hella Supertone Horns while the grill is off. These are diaphragm type, aftermarket horns, not air horns with a compressor.
The Hella Kit came with a relay, which I'm sure would be needed for older cars without horn relays. However, I see from our great forum resource Wrangler wiring diagrams that the Wrangler has a PCB-mounted relay for the two horns. Should I add the additional relay into the circuit to drive the two Hella horns? That would result in the Wrangler horn circuit activating the relay, but I would also have to find an unswitched 12v source under the hood to provide power to the relay. Obviously, it would be much, much simpler to unplug and remove the existing horns and connect the wires to the new horns.
Any advice from the forum?
Thanks!
