I'm almost finished installing a remote start system on a 1995 Toyota Avalon. I have the brown -200ma horn wire from my remote start system connected to the (-) GREEN/ black wire under the steering column. When I try and get the horn to honk using the remote start system, nothing happens. Any suggestions? Thanks

Sorry, I forgot to mention the system I am installing as an Avital 4103

Perhaps you have the wrong vehicle wire? How did you locate and verify the vehicles GREEN/ Black Horn (-) wire?

The safest way is to use a Digital Multi Meter. Set to 20V DC, Red test lead to +12V constant and Black test lead to suspect GREEN/ Black wire. Meter should read 0V. Press the horn button and the DMM should read +12V. If this works, connect the DMM Black test lead to the R/S's Brown Horn output wire and press Unlock. The DMM should go to +12V briefly, twice. If everything tests good, you could try briefly touching a fused ( 5A ) jumper wire from chassis ground to the GREEN/ Black horn wire. It should beep.

Soldering is fun!

Thanks for the reply, I tested the wire with the tests you suggested and all of them confirm it is the horn wire. However I'm not getting any sound when I put the unit into panic mode.
Any other ideas?
Thanks
