Scott:

My apologies to your DPO. From the latest info you gave me, I can see that he
knew what he was doing. My question now is why? If he replaced the horns
because he liked their sound better, then you have no problem. But if he
replaced them because of a fault in the purple/yellow wire to the horns, then
you have a minor problem, easily fixed.

My suggestion is as follows :

disconnect the purple/yellow wires from the horns.
run a continuity check from the purple/yellow wire at the relay to the
connectors at the horns. you should have continuity.
run a continuity check from the purple/yellow wires to ground. there should
be no continuity.

If the above tests pass, reconnect the purple/yellow wires to the horns,
remove the new wire from the C2 terminal, and replace it with the
purple/yellow wire that is there from the harness but not now connected.
enjoy your horns.

If the above tests fail, leave the purple/yellow wires disconnected. connect
the new wire from C2 to your horns in place of the existing wires. enjoy your
horns.

Hope this helps!
