Default New horn wont turn off w/o pulling the fuse?

my stock horn went out, and for a quick replacement i went to autozone and got a new one...its only a 1 wire horn but i wired in the ground also

when i put the fuse back in the horn goes off continously? it will only stop when there isnt power going to it. and thats when i pull the fuse? whats the problem here?

When you press the button, it gets grounded. Since it's grounded 24/7, it'll be on when there's 12v signal going to it. Remove the ground. See if it works.

Did any wiring diagram come with the box? Many aftermarket pieces have a diagram so you can use it with your wiring harness.

check the existing relay. it might be stuck. go under the wheel and see if you hear a clicking noise. no click, time for new relay.
