i think the horn is green, but i don't know if it is that green wire
more specifically because i noted your horn doesn't work, the green should provide 12V hot at all times from the horn relay, which connects to a ground through the switch in the steering wheel. This post has been edited by Snarfer: Sep 25, 2005 - 6:45 PM |

I pulled the steering wheel out so it's possible I ripped the wire out. But when I took the airbag cover off, there was a plug on that thing with the yellow sticker that aligns the steering wheel and stuff. it was a plug with a black wire cut off. that black wire used to connect to the old steering wheel. it looked like it was stuck on there. i dont know where the green wire foes. possibly somewhere on the plug? do you know where on the plug? thanks.

my guess is that the black wire is going to be the ground for the steering wheel, and the green wire is the 12V from the relay, those should hook into that spiral cable in the picture. I don't know how the green wire hooks up to the spiral cable there no documentation on that. It should hook into that big combination plug in slot 5. those are labled by connector a and b, each have their own number and each pin is numbered left to right, top to bottom with the connector pulled out and the wires facing away from, so if you leave look at it plugged in the number will go from right to left. kinda hard to explain. either way a green wire should be on a pin 5 going to the steering wheel for th horn.

 I didn't understand the whole A and B connector thing that Snarfer was talking about. -------------------- |

ya i didn't explain that very well... coming out of the back of the steering column will be two big connectors, connector a (14 pin) and connector b (20 pin) which is how everything on that column hooks into the rest of the car. pin 5 on one of those should be a green wire, and if you can trace it back to that broken green wire then it is definatly the horn. the green also carries +12V the black is ground for the horn switch. those should plug in to that spiral cable that was originally plugged in to the horn switch on the stock wheel.

They're metal parts on springs that contact metal(causing a ground connection, switching on the relay and making the horn sound) when pushed down. Here's a pic:

Oh ok. That's what I thought it was. Thanks for the pic Coomer. But my pic is correct right? the Green wire goes to the 5th spot on tha plug and the ground goes to that metal-on-lmetal contact on the steering wheel?
