Modern Vespa

How many amps does the stock GT horn circuit push? I picked up a new honker at a garage sale yesterday. Works fine on the Jeep, but no dice on the scoot. I'm thinking the stock circuit isn't pushing enough juice for the new horn.

The short answer is, "Not much." What kind of horn did you get? You probably need a relay and some 12AWG to the battery.

Check if it needs a relay switch...since there is no information on the horn that you have it's hard to make a recommendation.

If you picked up new (i.e. Stebel or Wolo Bad Boy) a relay switch is included to complete proper install.

IIRC, about 2A max, usually fused at 7.5A. I wouldn't trust the cables to supply more than about 2A without dropping too many volts.

My advice, regardless of the type of after-market horn, *always* use a separate relay. Takes not much longer to install, but forestalls all sorts of problems down the line.

Bummer. I wasn't in the mood to change the horn out until I came across the cheap garage sale one. However, I don't want to get into running wires, wiring relays, replacing switches, etc.

My wife and I have a busy 11-month old and getting a good amount of alone time with any one project before I need to tap in for a shift change is tough.

I don't want or need a Stebel Nautilus (yet), but would entertain more of an annoyed "honk" than the friendly "meemp" I get with my current horn. Are there any recommendations for "plug and play" horn options?

Never mind. I used the search function. Someone moved the reminder sticky.
