I need help locating the horn wire on my 96' Grand Am 3.1L SE.
It says it is a black wire in the steering column. I have the steering column covers off and the harnesses are exposed. There is a wire with a yellow thing on it, which is the air bag. There is one harness for each multi-function switch. There is a harness in the back. Lastly there is a plug with two wires coming out, white and black. Would the two wire one be the horn, or would it be in a normal harness with a bunch of wires probably?
I will do some testing with the multimeter, but narrowing it down would be easier. Thanks!

if you were to unbolt the electrical convenience center from (i believe) the firewall inside the car near the steering column, you will find your black wire on the backside of it where that black wire plugs into the horn relay.
holding a finger on each relay as you honk the horn will let you feel which relay is the horn relay.
that relay has a blk, org and dark green wire going to it.

Can I tap in at the fuse box? Or is that 12V+?

Okay I located that wire, now I need to locate the parking lights wire. There is a BROWN wire going into the relay for the turn signals that is coming out of the steering column harness, is this the correct wire?

Yes, I actually installed the remote start and the bypass and got them working. I just need to hook up the horn, parking lights, and door locks (with 451m).
That is misleading for the parking lights wire though, one says the steering column, and then the picture says the driver kick panel, however I didn't see anything in the kick panel, I might have to dig deeper. I was hoping the other wire I mentioned would work as an alternative.

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
