Any diagram or help on this? Been trying for the last several weeks and can't get the damn thing to work. Works if I put power and ground, can't get it to work with the horn button. Sorry I'm an idiot!!

The circuit is pretty simple: the horn should always have 12V on the positive side. The horn button connects the other side to ground when it's pressed. If you have 12V on the + side, just follow the ground side and see where the fault is that's not letting it connect to ground when the button is pushed. One place to look is at the steering box, make sure that little ground strap is there that jumps the ground from the yolk of the steerign box to the yolk on the steering shaft. Start there and work your way through the circuit :)

Ditto on the ground at the steering box.

So the steering box needs another wire grounding to the chassis? Where does that wire mount too. Again excuse my ignorance.

Pretty simple circuit I am reallY surprised that a person who has keyless ignition is having trouble with a horn. :beer:

I think you are making fun of me. I hear the relay go but won't toot the horn. I'll try it sometime next week.
