Default Wiring up horn from scratch

so the wires for the horn in my car are missing I have the horn and a bit of the harness left but it'll be to hard to peel threw the loom and try an reconnect it that way. So my question is how can I run it new/direct from my nrg hub, I have the backing plate so it's ready to work on that end from the horn I see 2 wires I assume 1 is the signal and the other is a ground ?.

pls help I need the horn working to pass safety

This thread needs answered! I'm in the same boat as you are brother. I'm a step ahead though.

I already ran a new wire from the horn to a relay under my dash, I then ran a ground to that relay. I ran a power wire from the underhood fuse box (mine is under dash) to the relay. Finally, I ran a wire from the NRG hub to the relay.

I also bought some solid copper wire and stripped the rubber coating and bent it behind the hub so it has constant contact with the hub. I have a gator clip attached to it with a wire.

I'm lost at this point as to how to get it working. So outside help will greatly be appreciated.

Makes sense, still a vague picture when you have nothing to go off of inside the vehicle.

Basically a depiction of what I described in my previous post.

connector c418 is a white 20 pin located above the hood release handle.

connector c451 connects to the horn's relay

connector c455 is a gray 3 pin located behind the dashboard's lower cover

My photo's of these are in black and white and don't copy to a folder very good.

Gotcha, I'll have to check it out next time I have some free time. Right now I just have a power wire that I touch to the horn wire to pass inspection on post. haha
