Horn relay power question

[Hueyguy]

I'm going over to a 1 wire alternator and on the front passenger side next to the radiator there is a relay that has a power wire that went to the back of my old alternator. Should I connect that back to the power on the alternator?

The horn is triggered by "ground" so its quite likely the "power" wire. You could connect it there but in this day and age its common to have a buss bar to run power off of.

It was a quick easy way to pick up power for the horn. But maybe not the best. An inline fuse would be a good improvement.

The horn is hardly ever in operation( if ever) so there's no need to reinvent that particular wheel.
