[6pack] Horn issues

[im sloane]

Don't know if this will help anybody or not, but my horn problems were always
due to a lack of proper ground at the horn button. There's a big ground wire
that needs to connect to the steering rack and the little wire that goes
around/thru the big square rubber thing on the steering column. These are
crucial to the steering column actually having a ground to send.  Of course,
the horn push has to work properly too to send this solid ground down to the
horn relay, thus sending a good 12v down to the horns when pushed.

It's easy enough to bypass the relay to see if you'll get 12v down to the
horns. Just touch the incoming 12v to the wire heading to the horns. Test all
3 wires to be sure you know which one is ground coming from the horn-push,
which one is live 12v all the time, and the other one is heading to the horns.
It looks like the purple is the 12v coming from the fuse box (the purple
circuit is always live), the purple/yellow stripe is heading to the horn and
the purple/black stripe is the ground coming from the steering wheel.
