Default Need quick help on installing air horn.

So far I got these hooked up to the relay
85: grounded
30: to battery with 30Amp inline fuse
86: Factory white/green horn wire
87: compessor +

My problem is that when i hook up the factory wire to the relay the horn will sound constantl. How would I go about hooking it up to the stock horn switch? There are 2 wires going to the stock one. Should I try the other wire?

I can't really help you with this problem but I suggest getting a regular horn. I bought my car with an airhorn (which I found out didn't work). The motor thing was broken, the fuse was busted, and the airhorn itself was broken. to airhorns.

Well anyways I just hooked up the horn to the stock wires. Is that any harm in doing that? The horns work fine.

what kind of car?
also if the kit came with arelay it will most likely draw more current than your stock horn circuit can provide

blu/grn or blu/red at the steering column. both shoot ground when the horn is activated.
as far as the relay goes, if 86 is the factory horn input, (which is ground) 85 needs to be 12 volt
