    This is my first post and I have learned much over the past few months here.

    The 2007 Prius horn is wimpy and I bought a high low air horn to add and not to replace the existing one. I could install a momentary switch on the dash panel but want to have quick access to the button. My steering wheel controls has an empty section because I don’t have the navigation and handsfree phone option. I recently replaced the clock spring and realize there are unused path ways.

    Are there diagrams that shows the wheel side and column side pin outs for the connectors? If none exists then I’ll use a multimeter to test for open unused pathways.

    Thanks!

    Tap into the existing horn connection with a 4 pin relay. I did this on my motorcycle with a Stebel Nautilus air horn. Works great and no codes.
