Ive had my horn unhooked forever... because one of the bolts is broken off in the steering wheel so when i steer the horn ring beeps the horn...who knows who did that..wasnt me..anyways..while i was driving tonight another one fell out so it was all floppy i took it all apart and the horn assembly the contacts are broken up...i just wanna put the horn ring back on as a dummy and wire a button for the horn..how would i go about that..
i know that when it grounds is when it turns on...how could i make that work in a different location

Pretty much i think what i am asking is which wire do i snip and reroute to a button and then to a ground?
It will be reversable if i ever decide to go back to the horn ring..just re fuse the wire.

At the base of the steering shaft above brake pedal assm is a 10 wire connector. It's the Black wire with a tracer on it. Just tag into it and run your remote horn button.
Presto.........

I prefer exposing the wire and solder a wire to that wire. Then a good tape job.
They make a item called "scotch-loc"
It goes over the wire and let's you add a wire. Then you crip it and they are connected.
You also can find a remote horn button assm at any big rig travel plaza or truck stop.
Heck even a door bell button would work from lowes.
