I'm installing a high-draw horn and bought the wrong relay. Was supposed to be a SPST. Can I just leave the 87a blade unconnected and assume it will function as an SPST?

Thanks.

You can use the relay without that terminal connected. It doesn't make a big difference it will work for what you need it for.
