Default One wire horn swap

Ok I have been with out my inner fenders ever since i did a full wire tuck... Well yesterday i went to the junk yard and found some inner fenders and pulled them off and also have been with out my horns.. Well i did try to reuse the ones i pulled off but it looks like those are bad the 2 wire ones.. So i found a set there of a newer 05 4oor tsx and pulled them off with the clips. I seen that they were one wire horns.. So now i got the inner fenders installed the mudflaps and the horns in great location but it seems i cant figure out the wiring to get the one wire horns to work... The (+) for the horns runs from the fuse box to the horns and when that is connected they are on all the time since the one wire horns (-) is on the braket that holds them... Has any one tryed to do this before.. Let me know if you guys have a solution.. I just wanted a new car horn sound i am tired of that weak old skool horn beep beep..

I dont know how the tsx rsx connect the + inside the car.. Since the horns ground them selfs.. If i connected the + to run threw my steering wheel then the fuse would pop.. Or should i unground the horns at the body and create a insulator on the brackets and run a wire to my stock ground... I would like to get this figured out soon...

use a relay. run the negative horn signal wire to a relay, wire it so that it sends a positive signal to your horn.

I cant send the negative to a relay because its grounded on the horn it self to the bracket and it bolts to the chassis and its grounded.. I didn't understand your theory

well a relay can do that, so start researching relays and you will figure it out.
