Horn wire help

[yellowrench]

My horn doesn't work, button inoperative. I have the cover off under the steering column (under the turn signal switch and wiper switch) can someone tell me the COLOR and PLUG location under this cover for the horn wire that goes to the steering wheel horn button. I would like to install a remote button instead of fixing the original button. Also is this wire grounded to activate the horn relay? THANKS, PHIL

Are you sure the problem isn't the horn itself? Mine burned itself out a few years back and I replaced it for about $25.

Check the fuse first. Then check the horn

Take the horn off, run a wire from the positive terminal of the battery to the horn, and run a ground wire from the horn to the metal body. And make sure the contacts on the horn aren't corroded.

If it doesn't work, then it's the horn. If it does work, then it's something further up.

The horn switch isn't under the steering column, it's behind the airbag.

If it really is the switch that's the problem, then it's easier to fix that than installing a remote button.
