1992 FXR. The horn is located behind the frame- battery box, in front of the rear tire. Wondering if I hooked it up wrong. It operates with key off when I press the button. Did I reverse the wires? If so will it put a draw on the battery? Really don't want to pull the rear wheel to get at it.

It won't drain the battery unless you stand there pushing the button. Reversing the wires will make no difference, except it might not work at all. You should have hooked it to an orange wire, which is switched on, not whatever you did that is on all the time. Won't really hurt anything.

As Doc said it won't hurt anything unless you hold down the horn button with the bike off.
I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks guys. I didn't change any of the wiring back there. This bike really needs re-wire. Old cop bike, too many wires not needed.
