1966hornrelay.jpgNeed one of these horn relays. From a 66 cutlass-442. Thanks. email jstrits@sbcglobal.net

 

Thats a tough item! You see them listed from time to time but they are very expensive. They are pretty much interchangeable with Buick and Pontiac. If you don't have a high points show car, you would be just as well off to just use a standard relay and just keep the battery cable terminal as is.

 

would the 88 and 98 have the same relay?

 

All 58-67 Oldsmobiles use it, as well as 59-67 Buick and all the muscle Pontiacs- which is what screws you on these things. NOS Delco-Remy and Littelfuse have been in the stratosphere for several years now thanks to the GTO crowd, and old stock aftermarkets such as Echlin, Standard, Sorenson and Filko are headed there.

You'd think someone would have reproduced the thing by now. I paid $45 each for the last two aftermarkets I found and considered myself lucky.

 

i have one but not sure how to test it. i know the big lug would be a positive wire but what would be the function of the other two terminals be?

 

With 12 volts applied to the large terminal, ground the rearward lug (with black wire going to horn button) and you should get 12 volts to the other lug (with green wire going to horns).

 

thanks, i just tested it and it isn't any good. that is a little surprising to me because every electrical part i have tested from this car has been good.

I got mine here.

 

I'd still be interested in it if it is good shape. Mine is all cracked up. email me jstrits@sbcglobal.net please.

 

Not necessarily, I have two styles of them. A short "box" and a "tall" box. I believe the short one is a 65 and the tall is a 66-67. By box I mean the tin covered box area. They all may use them but they all may not be exactly the same.

 

A few of them, mostly for Buick and big Pontiac, also have an extra 12V post for a power accessory takeoff. Can't tell you how many of those I've seen on the car with a nekkid post.

I expect a lot of part #s got consolidated. My 74 parts book lists only one part # for 58-67 all and 1968 Toronado.

 

if you still need one i found a good original one. it tested good. has a nice solid sound to it when you energize it also. i will send an email.

 

Contact "gman" here on the forum, he has one that looks like that.

 

If you still need that horn relay, I have one for sell.
