Horn Replacement - Need help
I'm trying to replace my Civic 1999 horn with some Acura TL High/Low horns
i took apart my front and i got to the horn, but i noticed that the Civic horn has only 1 prong, while the acura has 2
for the civic i figured out that the prong is the positive, where the power goes, and the horn grounds itself to the chassis (from the bracket).
I assumed for the acura horn, it's 2 prongs; one for positive, one for negative.
i ground one prong to the chassis, and one connected to the power.
no luck.
i checked the fuse still works.
Both the civic and the acura uses 12 V / 3 amp.
Anyone got any ideaS?
i was using this as a guide.

It may need two power wires (one for the high tone and one for the low tone) while the ground may be the same as the original (chassis.) Just an idea.
