Hey you guys...

I recently replaced my stock steering wheel with one of the cheap sport ones from APC. The horn switch spring didn't quite function the way I liked, so I took it out and bought a momentary toggle switch from AutoZone (12V Rated) and installed it into a panel in the dash. All I have left to do is find the wires and connect them.
Now I'm no electrician, but the switch has two terminals on the back, and if I connect positive to one terminal and negative to the other, when I hit the switch the horn should sound. I am having trouble finding the wiring diagram that shows the colors of the neg. and pos. for the horn. I see 1 R/Bu (I'm assuming that that means red/blue) on the diagram, but no semblance of a neg. wire to connect to the other terminal...hmmmm...
State inspection is coming up and I need to find a way to do this rather quickly.

Thanks!

or I'll check for responses here...

 

The negative grounds through the steering column, I think. Just hook the wire from the horn to one side of the switch and the other side of the switch goes to ground.

 

I know this is an old post...but i found it in the search area...and is the closest to what i need...
By connecting the wire from one side of the horn to the switch and one to a ground...how is the horn getting power?...
I want to use the horn button on my grant steering wheel...the old horn burnt out...so i went to Vatozone and got a FIAMM horn...but how do i hook it up to the button on my steering wheel...what are the wire colors?...Thanks

My horn stopped working so I just removed the stock one and put it on a switch. I know its not much help, just a suggestion.

 

I really wanted it to remain on the steering wheel....anyone else?

I even used a relay to do it and it still didnt work...what is the horn wire color?..

The horns are connected to a constant 12V power source and the horn switch is on the negative leg of the horn(s) circuit. Both terminals of the horn switch will be connected to the negative leg of the circuit, one wire from the horn(s) negative (ground) to the horn switch and the other wire from the horn switch to chassis ground. I have a 87 CRX so my wire colors won't help you, however, for me 12V to horns is White/Green and negative (ground) of horn(s) is Blue/Red. For cars, the switch for circuits switches the negative leg of the circuit, power is usually constant or comes on when ignition is on. Hope this helps.

 

i know this is a old thread but where exactly is this so called horn switch located and what does it look like...!!!
