Who wants a Stebel?

[The Pastor]

Hey every one, I just got one of these horns, but I don't understand how the relay works? I have 4 pins but only two wires (+ and -) that connected to my old horn? I just plugged them straight in the 139db horn and it gave out a faint beep - about the same as my old horn, then I chucked it across my battery and it worked.

My volt meter checked that there are 12v going to the old horn so my guess is that it cant get the current to the new horn when just straight plugged in. Obviously the relay that came with it somehow fixes this? If you can do a basic drawing or somthing it would help alot (I learn from pictures or some shit).

Or just tell me (in detail) how you guys hooked this baby up.


Thanks

Wire up yourself a new circuit direct from the battery. That's what I'm going to do, I don't trust my 20-year-old GN250 wiring, even though it's never let me down.

Here you are. Ideally, you'll put an inline fuse between the battery and the relay. Does anyone know the approximate current draw of a Stebel?

I'd guess a 10A slow blow should be okay.

[The Pastor]

The reconmended fuse is a 12v 20amp.

Here is how I connected it up, I just added in all the + and - ones together.

[bungbung]

Alright then, use a 20amp fuse.

Your wiring solution will not work.

The two additional wires you need are:

1. A new (fused) wire from your battery + (positive) terminal to the relay
2. A new ground wire from a point on the bike chassis to the stebel - (negative) terminal.

There is a wiring diagram in the packing the horn comes in ...

It's on the inside of the Label

Sweet ... i'll factor that into the cost ... thats 1 ... who next???

I know this was last year Warlock but um, first time i have seen the thread and are you still taking orders on the Stebel?

Yeah but im no good at understanding those tiny as pictures etc, looks like I'll have to run a new wire to the battery, any way to get it there without it getting to hot from the engine?


I have some decent thinkness speaker wire, can I use that?

Mateeee ... i've just placed the order ... i may be able to help you out tho .. what were you after ..

Shit .. i sound like a drug dealer ... LOL

I am coming upon all sorts of lovely situations in which I could use a Stebel to good effect. Can't wait for it to arrive! BEEP!

More bling for the DR

[avgas]

Ha, so thats what the horn button does. I never trusted it much so always used hand signals

[The Pastor]

well ive hooked this baby up and she doest seem as loud as I was hoping for, although I had high expectations, and I am quite deaf, and my neighbours came and told me it was more that loud enough.
