Can anyone tell me without me having to mess around too much how much current a conventional car horn uses please ?



What car? What make of horn? Single or Twin tone?

Modern small single, 3A, older, larger 8A.

If switching, use a big relay as it's a very dirty inductive load.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Heliotrope Smith" saying something like:

But not as much as a rhino horn.

About a foot more, to be precise.
