Will this Horn Load Reduction Relay Kit fit my Vanagon?

Yes! This relay kit is specifically designed to fit all Vanagon models from 1980 to 1991, making it compatible with virtually any Vanagon you own. It's a great choice whether you have a stock setup or you've upgraded to higher-powered horns.

How easy is it to install the relay kit, and do I need special tools or experience?

The relay kit comes with straightforward, step-by-step instructions and is designed as a plug-and-play solution. Most users report an easy installation with only basic hand tools required—no advanced electrical skills needed. You don’t need to cut or splice your original wiring, so installation is clean and fully reversible.

Will installing this relay kit affect my Vanagon's stock wiring or electrical system?

No, the kit is designed to work with your existing wiring without any permanent modifications. It actually helps protect your stock wiring by offloading electrical current from the original horn switch, reducing the risk of worn switches or burnt wires. Your Vanagon remains safe, and you can remove the kit at any time if you wish.

What are the real benefits of using a horn relay kit in my Vanagon?

Adding this relay kit gives your horn more consistent power directly from the battery, resulting in a louder, more reliable honk—especially important if you've upgraded to aftermarket or louder horns. The kit reduces strain on your horn button and wiring, helping everything last longer. Plus, many customers report a noticeable improvement in horn performance right after installation.

Is the relay kit weatherproof and suitable for daily driving conditions?

Absolutely! The relay included in this kit is weather-resistant and designed to handle the conditions faced by Vanagons. You can drive with confidence knowing the kit is made to last and perform reliably, no matter the weather. Customers appreciate its durability and quality construction.

Even in the best of circumstances, a Vanagon's horn circuit is beleaguered by the current forced through the horn button. This kit removes that burden from the horn button, allowing the installation of higher powered horns drawing up to 10A (like our Dual Horn Kit). Adding this relay to the circuit also improves horn response, so you can cheerfully beep at passing Vanagons without laying on the horn.

The included weatherproof relay easily installs behind the passenger headlight, and retains the stock wiring so you don't need to rearrange your fuse box. It can also be installed in other applications where you want relay switched power.

• Weatherproof relay harness
