OK, guys I need help from some of the amazingly talented people that frequent this forum. I just started the redo on my 92 f350 - the truck in my signature. I am fairly mechanical, and I can paint and sort of weld, but I am dumber than a post when it comes to electrical. So here we go. My factory horns don't work so I ordered a couple of WOLO Big Bad Max horns to replace the OE units. AFTER the horns arrived, I decided to test the originals. I ran a hot wire from the battery terminal to the horn and it went off. So, then I knew the horns were good and my problem must be the switch. I removed the cover on the steering wheel and the wires weren't connected to the switch plate. I connected the wires and got nothing so I removed the horn switch (copper plates with foam in between) and tested for continuity and the meter sounded when they were pressed together so I knew the switch was good. Next I tested the ends of the wires for power and there was none, so I unplugged them from a connector buried in the steering wheel and tested them for continuity and they were good. Finally, I tested the connector in the wheel for power (there are 3 little prongs) and nothing was hot. Now what?????? I don't want to hook up an separate button for the horns and don't how to trace from the connector back to wherever. I am eager to learn and not afraid to get dirty, but just don't have the knowledge/expertise. Please help.
