Too late know I have it all install except for the horn output but your right I had some problems in the past. Might as well finish what I started. Do you know anything about installing alarms? If not anyone out their who does please help thanks!ar

If you look at the wires coming down the steering column you should be able to  find the horn wires, its usually a negative triggered wired coming off the horn button.  good luckA man has got to know his limitations

the horn trigger is going to be a negative trigger so there is no relay needed. the wire will read 12v when resting and ground when the horn is pressed. there is a four pin plug to the left of the steering column.I like cars more than women, because their the perfect challenge.

Yes, I suggested the relay since he can't  find the negative wire on the column. The relay is to activate the horns on the engine compartment.

Hey..Yes you definately should not need a relay although he is right if it comes down to it you could use it. Anyway look for some plugs to the right of the steering column are usually one or two plugs with maybe 5 wires going into each. Is there a plain purple wire in there? I sort of remember the wire coloring for the horn being off on some of those so check for a plain purple or violet wire in one of those plugs. Note: Use a multimeter to test the wire! As others have said it will sit at 12v and when you push the horn the 12v will go away until you let go of the horn. Take a look and let me know what you find. Also if there are connectors there you can unplug the connectors and push the horn. If it still works, then you have the wrong connector plug it back in and try another one. If you unplug a connector and it stops working then bingo your horn wire is one of the ones in that plug..Good luck and be careful.

Also make sure for all this horn testing that you have the car off!
