How do I wire up my own horn?

[ZX2 Sleeper]

I had issues with my horn. So i need to wire everything up myself. I know how it wires up. It needs a relay, correct? Can some one tell me if i can wire my own relay? If so where and how can i wire it in. What else would i need to make it functional again.

wow man i need this to!

as far as I remember (and this was a surprise for everyone) there is already a connector for that hanging somewhere in the engine bay.

what kinda of issues are you having with the horn? v

I need to wire everything up. From horn to wiring to switch.


The issue was when i did the ATX to MTX swap i screwed up the wiring some how for the horn.. it stopping workiing after i dropped the steering column. The alarm horn worked up until this week when i shorted out the wire.

if you can read a wiring diagram then this will help. if not just connect at the horn and run wire, put a relay with a switch (or original airbag) to activate and get a constant power. done.

Thanks!! i Had it wired up already with the switch with out a fuse or relay. which wire should i put the relay inline with, from switch to the horn or from switch to positive terminal?

[silent_1999]

follow the yellow brick road. i dont remember the numbers corresponding to the relay terminals but most of the time its drawn out for you.

the guy i bought the car from hit a deer and his airbag deployed and he said the contact was fried and they were going to charge him like 1000 bucks to put a new one in so he wired in a button but it is so inconvient(sp?) and he said he never had a problem with passing inspection but idk its bye the e-brake but its on the panel that goes down to the carpet and you have to hit that and the horn at the same time but that kind means you have no control of the wheel and it isnt safe. if i buy a steering wheel(from a junk yard or something) will it have this "contact" in it?

[silent_1999]

yes

[silent_1999]

mine goes off by itself, i painted the airbag black, and i guess with the added head absorbing it causes the switch to go on. it only happens on days that are above 90, which is everyday in the summer

[JW_ZX2_98]

haha why would you paint the air bag? and so if i buy a new steering wheel on here or at a junk yard it will have a new contact in it!! Yippe

Thats perfect for me in dummy terms. I guess i could steal the horn relay from the CCRM! you my man saved my pain an fustration.

You also can take the switch thing out. Take of the air bag. 2 10mm bolts on the top corners of it. Then unhook your airbag wire which pulls right off. Then locate the 2 torx screws on the bottom of the airbag where the 2 black and red/black wires are. Then it pulls out easily. Im swapping mine with on from a car in the junkyard!

This what i was aiming for.
