Need help! I was at Spyderfest last week and had the dual horns put on my RT Limited by Rivco. Now my horn has stopped working. I checked my fuse and it's good. When I press the button I can here the relay clicking. Someone give me some advise please, so I can feel safe back on the road.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

As I see it..!!
If the fuse is good you need to get to the connections. Some wire may have come disconnected or its a faulty relay. Not knowing the horn type or connection diagram its hard to tell. Some auto type horns need grounding but if they worked after installation probably a connection...:thumbup:

Sounds exactly like a loose connection, happened on mine, was a loose ground wire.

horn not working
If horns worked at the Show and then both stopped working and in all probability its a loose connection which you should be able to troubleshoot yourself. I did not see them install a set of horns at Spyderfest, but I suspect they took off the minimal number of tupperware parts so it shoudnt be too difficult to access the areas where they did the installation. Their setup fo the Spyder uses a standard five conductor relay, the middle /center post is not used . First check to see if all the leads going to the horns are tight, then if all the leads to the relay are tight, then use a multimeter to see if there is current coming from the # 87 post on the relay when the horn button is activated, if not, then check to see if there is 12 volts coming to the # 30 post on the relay, this should be 12v + all the time. Check to see if there is continuity between a ground on the engine/frame and the negative leads to the horns. In this Rivco setup the 85 and 86 leads are are the wires coming from the stock /oem BRP horns and used to activate the relay. I just got through installing my new Rivco horns bought at Spyderfest and it took me some time to figure out that there is no ground wire going to the relay #85 post. Have fun:banghead:

I had the same horns put on at Spyderfest and the installer didn't hook one of the wires back inside the right mirror so I didn't have a right turn signal.

Thank guys!!! I'm back in business. Contacted Rivco and he told me to move ground wire. Quick fix
