Re: horn relay

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi Nan:

You didn't mention what year your Spider is, but the horn relay is generic 
on my '87 Spider, and it's the common type you'll see at auto parts stores, 
sold for air horns, driving lights, etc.  On my '87 I was able to just swap 
adjacent relays, that is, the power window relay for the horn relay, and 
vice versa.  Try that, if you can. If you have to buy one, look for one 
that has the same terminal configuration, e.g. terminals marked 30, 85, 86, 
87, 87a.  Other Spiders are similar, but if you have an earlier car with 
the relay not mounted in the fuse box, the same applies, but you'll have to 
attach the wires individually.

Regards,

Dean
