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.

I am working on wiring the horns for the first time since my 15 year restore. I am working with the original wiring harness and horns. 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.
<div>
It would seem to me that I should have a hot wire to the ring contact then a hot to the horns when the horn ring is pressed. but the wiring harness does not seem to follow that way of thinking.

The wiring diagram is some help but as usual my limited knowledge on this will probably start a fire.

Any help would be appreciated, I would rather not rewire the circuits so hopefully I can restore the Lucas <a href="http://system.to">system.to</a> its original splendor.
