Help! Installing horn
Hey guys I'm installing some hella supertones and am in some need of assistance.
I'm no electrician, not close but typically I can follow instructions or use YouTube enough to get by, however I'm stuck.
The directions are attached, I'm the "2b" in the diagram (I think). I was also using the best video I could find of someone installing except it was into Fj :/. http://youtu.be/kLxUDMIZuAI Thing I'm stuck on right now. I have two wires going to my existing horn, positive and negative I'm assuming one (the grey w/yellow stripe is positive) and the other ground. The positive I know I run to my relay but would about the ground??? What do I do with it? If you watch the video he only has the one positive wire. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Can't actually read the writing in the diagram. Since it's using a relay, then the wire you tap from your existing horn positive should go to pin 85. Pin 30 should be fed from the battery. Pin 87 should go to the new horn. Pin 86 should go to ground. AT least that is the typical way to wire the relay. Then the new horn ground should just go to ground. That's if you're keeping the existing horn as well. Are you removing the existing horn?
If so then probably feed the existing horn positive to pin 85. Connect the existing horn negative to pin 86. Connect pin 30 to the battery and pin 87 to the horn positives. Again, new horn negatives to ground. Test it first.

You still working on that?
