New steering wheel but can't figure out how to do horn...

Post by ClanFever »

Hey all

Sorry I'm a bit of a muppet when it comes to cars electronics. I have my new steering wheel installed with it's boss kit. Now, I have one red wire coming out of the boss kit, I have the 3 pin connector that I've adapted to fit with my boss kit, I have a wire that leads out of the base for the steering wheel that I can split into two wires, and then I have 2 electronic connectors on the horn for the steering wheel. I've checked google and youtube but nothing actually details how to connect the horn. What do I do next?

The wire from the 3 pin connector goes straight to one of the connectors on the horn button. The other connector on the horn button needs to be connected to ground, ie to the boss itself.
