Ferrari Mailing List: Re: GTB horn?

[Steve Jenkins (steve]

Bingo. That's the one, Erik!

I didn't need to install the relay in either case, but it came with it
nonetheless (and now I have 2 relays in my spare parts bin).

And while we're on the topic of Harbor Freight, I just picked up one of
these:

It worked right out of the box to clear a check engine light on my QP (cyl 7
misfire... I've modded the engine software, and was driving really hard on
gas with stupid Ethanol). Great interface, easy to use. Didn't need to look
up any code. It read the code and "translated" it into plain English for me.
It also has a USB connector to download updates.

I've heard from a very reliable tech that it's the most compatible one he's
used on Ferrari/Maseratis w/ OBDII. Steve Cook just ordered one for his 355.

Hard to beat deal at $99. That's way cheaper than a trip to a dealer to see
what the check engine light is all about. :)
