| the easiest way is to run a new cable from inside the car to the horn disconnect the yellow/black wire on the horn and connect your new cable to that then inside the car take the new cable to a momentary push button and then connect the other side of the switch to an ignition live the ignition live is a black wire and can be found either at the ignition switch or you cna take it from the back of the fuse box |

| are you sure the actual horn isnt duff? Put a multi meter on the wiring and see where your getting power and where your not. |
