I am doing this tonight to my 2020 Recon. I am adding an inline fuse so it's not a direct circuit to the battery. I think I am also going to change the placement of the button so I don't have to fight with screwing it into such a tight space. I think I might try putting in next to the Neutral light. Thanks for the video!
It went great! I did a couple things a little differently than you did, but not drastically. I honest couldn’t have done it with out your video! I put an inline fuse in because me and Mud Squirrel (what I named my Recon) like to ride through a lot of water and mud so I didn’t want a direct current to the battery. The fuse will pop if such an event were to occur instead of potentially frying the electronics in my 4 wheeler through the battery. I was probably being overly cautious but it was only a few extra dollars. I wish there was a way for me to attach photos to show what I did during the installation and the finished product!
@@jenniffermcc4232 I'm so glad the video helped even just one person (and Mud Squirrel, lmfaooooo)! I obviously didn't put a fuse in mine, but that & protective wrap for the wires are 2 things people have mentioned that I probably *should* have thought about before hand & did it for completeness sake. Yea, I wish you could attach pics but maybe make a YT video & send me the link! 😀 Happy Trails!
I'd recommend a wire loom to protect the wires from rubbing as you ride and possibly shorting out your battery. Secure it with zip ties. Good job on doing things yourself!
Nope. For the price of everything, I could just replace it all for cheaper than dealing with a relay, not that they're expensive or time-consuming but just not practical for this particular instance. Sorry, I thought you were referring to an in-line fuse. A relay, though? Idk.
What screw did you use for the battery terminal it seems like the original screws that come with it can't hold much things down with the positive and negative wire
Yea, just the original screws that came with the battery. May have shortened by 1 thread with the space that the electrical connector took up, but seemed secure.

How did the horn install go? What made you want to install an in-line fuse?

Not all heroes wear capes! Tysm!
Aye I finally found the vid I was looking for
Exxxxcellent! Thank you
Where is your circuit protection? Aka fuse??
Now that you've been running it a while, have you found that you should have added a relay switch/box?
Nope. For the price of everything, I could just replace it all for cheaper than dealing with a relay, not that they're expensive or time-consuming but just not practical for this particular instance.
Sorry, I thought you were referring to an in-line fuse. A relay, though? Idk.
Chet, why would you recommend a relay for this application?
very good job, next time try using a BRAD POINT BIT drill bit on plastic, its not so aggressive when cutting, try it on a test piece B⁴.
I'm putting a horn on mine can you tell me what gauge wire you used?
12 Ga, but the wire was a little bit large for the button, so I'd go a size smaller (or get a different button)
Ok thanks ill use 16gauge
@@MechanicEli2007 Let me know how it turns out!!!
Jenna Bobenna it has turned out great thanks for the video!
I subscribed any pretty Lady that can do tinkering with ATV bikes or cars is hott as fuck to me..keep up the great work and fuck the haters

@@jennabobenna3631 ok thanks!
great job , love to see women DIY but you need to get a nice pair of wire crimpers so you don't have to use linesmen pliers :)
I have since purchased some!!! 😊🤦🏽♀️
@@jennabobenna3631 awesome :)
I've been wanting one for a while. The one on mine was broken when we got it
Sry to hear that but I hope you find the time to install one or repair it, it didn't take long, at all! :-)
What brand is the horn
Horn: Fuerdi Universal DC 12V 1.5A... www.amazon.com/dp/B06XX38Z5K?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Button: JacobsParts Momentary Pushbutton... www.amazon.com/dp/B0189J0PHQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I wish I could do that but I don't have the time
