I need to hook my horn up today! I have only untill 2 pm eastern to do it. I have the stearing coloum off and am looking at serveral wires, I don't know what colors are for the horn. The previous owner put a aftermarket stearing wheel on and left the horn disconnected, now I need it to pass inspection!! SOMEONE HELP!!!!!

I have a '85 gsl.

 

I dunno the color but if you have a volt meter you can make a very educated guess...


the horn works like the dome light circuit in that depressing the switch completes your circuit to ground...

the horn switch will have a ground wire or ground to the wheel/colum and will be supplied with a 12V source...

use your volt meter/ ohm meter to find a wire that reads 12v when key is on, if there is more than one to choose you can guess or try eliminating choices by pulling fuses...

you can also find the ground wire and or make sure the switch is grounded with you volt/ohm meter


Does that make sense?? should help, sorry I can't go look at mine, I'm at work

 

go to the nearest autozone and get a chiltons guide for $15.99. HURRY! i have one but im at school and i dont get home til 5.

 

chiton's suck. I prefer to use the hanes guide. better pics and more info on certain other stuff thats not covered in the chiltons.

I removed the horns and tested them directly on the battery like hanes says and the horns apprea to be stuck. On the bright side I found a alarm system on the car

I will have to make a run to the junk yard and pull a horn off some old freaking car. ****. I guess I will not be able to drive my car untill thursday or something.

Question for the "know-it-all" aka "well-in-daughed"

If I ground the horn lead thats in the steering colume will it complete a circute? Once I get the working horns in, and connecte everything.. if it doesn't work what should be my next step?
