Hooking up the Fortin EVO all remote start with alarm feature. The instructions say to find the negative horn wire but dont know where to look. Can anyone post a pic on where to find it? What color is the wire?

Right, you are. Here's a diagram of the factory wiring:

You'll see there isn't a switched negative wire for the horn. You're best bet is to use a relay to switch polarity:

Thanks jeepherder! Thats exactly what I needed! Would these relays work for this polarity conversion?
Can I also use this relay for the anti grind relay? I guess what Im asking is if it is the correct type for both applications (40a 14VDC). Of course I know that I will need 2.

One more question! Below is a pic of my ignition plug. Would it be correct by wiring the anti grind relay- 12V constant (red) to the 86 pole and the starter wire (violet) to the 30 pole and then again after cutting the (violet) starter wire to the 87a pole. 85 goes to (-) controller.
