    Does anyone know which wire do I have to tap into to wire the horn button on the steering wheel and where the wire is located?
    I plan to use the horn switch for other purpose. :rockon:

    Thanks. Do you have photos on how to get to that wire?

    I need to find the horn button wire under the hood. There is a horn relay in the under-hood fuse block. The horn button should be connected to that relay with a wire. I looked briefly for a light blue wire but could not find it. I tried to find a circuit diagram without any luck.
    Today, I mounted my new fiamm horn (Farbin brand) and connected 12 volts and ground. It fits in front of the radiator. Now I need to connect the relay coil. I am connecting the new horn in an unusual manner.
    Thanks

    I bought a Haynes manual but the horn circuit is not shown. I searched the wiring diagram pages 2 times. Maybe my library will have better manuals.
