After the connection was taped it is now time to route the wire to the relay.

Shown below is how I routed it

I went up the side of the main harness

Across the battery mounting area

Then down into the ABS Control area to the relay

As the trigger wire is black and there is still more wiring do to, I quickly threw on some white heat shrink tubing for identification and noted the end.

I will shrink the tubing later once the final length is established

Mounting the Relay

The relay shown with the arrow is not OEM equipment it is the relay for my Centech

The green highlight is where I am mounting the relay for the horn.

Tools used are a T30 torx and a 10mm wrench

Detail of relay mounted.

Note 1 - the hole where the bolt goes thru is a little small, you will need to run the bolt thru to ensure it fits

Note 2 - the bolt is intentionally mounted upside down (by me) this is to provide the surface area of the washer on the tab of the relay

I decided to create my own power harness as I did not want to use black as a power wire
