electrical help needed.. my plan?

I am going to rewire my horn. It seems that its more than just the relay thats gone bad. I don't have time to mess around and keep searching. I am sure if I wanted to I could just get another harness.

I went to radio shack and bought a 30A relay.
Technical Date:
Coil Voltage: 12V
Pull-inVoltage: 6v
Coil Resistance: 66 ohms
Nominal Current: 160mA
Drop-Out Voltage: 3.6V
SPST Contacts: 30A at 12VDC


There are 4 contacts on the relay they are labled as follows top (86) on/off switch ; middle right ; (87) 12V IN ; bottom (86) ground ; and finally middle left (30/51) 12V out

This is what I am going to do:
battery to 87.
on/off switch to horn button on steering wheel.. then to a ground
30/51 12Vout to the horn lead in the engine bay. and lastly (86) ground to chassis ground.

Any thoughts as to why this wouldn't work?


this is the back of the cover the relay came in. Its the schematic..
