to those who have taken off their steering wheel assembly, what color is the horn wire. i remember 3 wires in the back of the steering wheel, 2 of them yellow maybe and another purple. i think its the purple one

My wiring info says green wire with a black stripe, in the steering colum. Although it may be different at the steering wheel...

hey wheres the link to that wiring diagram you had

dont know if this will work for you or not

thanks

I'm 100% sure it's copper. :P I was thinking red. green with black stripe sounds like it tho. Purple is the airbag wire I think. Been a while since I messed with my disfunctional horn. :-(

the only one in the column that looks remotely good is a green one with red stripe and the wire is in black insulation. how can i make sure its the horn before hooking the battery back up?

well if the wire is already cut....hook a voltmeter to it. dont measure volts (since u wont get any voltage since the battery isnt hooked up..plus the wire is cut in half) but theres a different setting i forgot what it is. But anyway...if you hook up the wire to the voltmeter pos and the voltmeter neg. to a ground and try to honk the horn. If your on the right setting on the voltmeter (for the life of me...i cant think of the name) you should get 2 different readings when you try to honk the horn. if you get different readings from when u honk the horn then when u arent pressing anything...then you can be sure its the horn wire.

i went ahead an hooked everything up. didnt work. maybe theres a mechanism that wont let the horn work if you dont have the airbag, i dont know
