Crush both ends lightly with your pliers, just enough to flatten them for clearance issues. Use your solder paste, dabbing a bit on each end, to help the solder itself. Draw some solder into each end of the wire with the solder gun, making sure it is well saturated before you solder it onto the board. Take the wire, and one end at a time solder it to the applicable connectors. You are connecting the power, before the fuse, of the horn | Crush both ends lightly with your pliers, just enough to flatten them for clearance issues.

Take the wire, and one end at a time solder it to the applicable connectors. You are connecting the power, before the fuse, of the horn, to the power, again before the fuse, side of the ACC. This way, if your ACC fuse blows, you won't also risk blowing the horn fuse (as it is at a lower amperage after your modifications). | ||
