[Tigers] Horn Wiring

[GARY WINBLAD]

Bob,
You should find a Purple/Black wire in the harness at the steering column.
This should measure hot(12V) because it connects to 12V through the horns.
You ground this Purple/Black wire to make the horns activate.  The horn button does
the grounding.

Starting at the horns there is one on  each side with a jumper wire between the two horns, there are 2 purple wires leading to each horn, one wire on each side is hot  and wired to the fuse box the second wire is not hot or grounded. I installed a new horn ring from SS and have one wire from the contact on the horn ring and a second wire for the circle contact off the signal switch, I think the wire for the circle contact should be hot  but I don't seem to have a connector for it in the harness under the dash and nothing for the wire to the horn ring.
