So i bought a new low tone horn because the previous horn sounded like a miniature train. I thought it would be a direct swap until i found that it had theseAttached Image

they were powered by an air pump in the spare tire area that was wired to a relay right next to it.. WTF? i looked at the wiring diagram to see what wires actually go to the stock horn and i couldn't find those wires in my car.. i also find the wiring for the fog lights that i don't have (idk if those are supposed to be there or not)..

could someone please post a picture of the stock horn with the wiring and relay. i need a reference.

No relay in the stock horns. The wiring comes from the loom which comes out from under the gas tank on the drivers side. The wires for the horn pop out of the loom as it runs along the front of the chassis, under the metal 'shelves'. Wire color is a black with a yellow stripe, and a brown one. The connectors on the drivers side should have double wires in the connector, since the DS horn 'feeds' power to the PS horn.

Hope that helps.


well the wiring diagram shows a relay that's connected to the black/yellow wire.. lol

when i hooked up the black/yellow wire and brown wire to the stock horn and tested it, all it did was make a clicking sound.. i also have two black/yellow wires near the horn area (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ... i swear the PO was drunk or just plain retarded when he did this setup..
