I need to install a new horn on a 2001 Chevrolet Cavalier.  It was in an accident and the drivers side airbag deployed.  The horn no longer works and all the contacts in the steering wheel are missing.  I purchased a FIAMM horn, button and wiring.  Problem is, I do not know how to wire the horn.  I am trying to do this for the headmaster of my children's school.  They do not have the money to completely fix the problem.  The car runs great, but will not pass inspection without a horn.  Please HELP!!!

Where are you placing the horn button?

Basicaly the button will have 2 wires, one goes to ground and the other should go to a relay. The relay should be wired like this.

The - trigger will be the output from the button, and the +12V output will go to the horn. Then all you have to do is mount the horn and run the wiring and plug it into the horn.

If you are trying to use the factory horn/wiring then let me know.
