I would love to be able to use two small buttons for my horns, but anytime I wire the horns directly up to buttons, they get way less voltage, and sound weak as hell? I'm wondering what wire to tap into on the column so that I can just use the stock relay system in the car to power the horns, with my own buttons to activate them. Help!

I would love to have a pic of the stock horn harness. I think I tucked it away at one point, and now I can't find it again.

I can take pics today of the whole wiring setup, but when it gets to the steering wheel I loose it? I undid all the wiring looming from the engine bay on my wife's dead 97. Today I'm going to pull the column with the stock wiring in place, so I should be able to figure out which wire at that point. I was just hoping somebody knew already. It's weird though, it seems the wiring to the horn buttons is always a constant 12v and when you hit the horn, you just temporarily connect the wire that goes straight to each horn, to that 12v. But I can't find which wire it is that goes to the horn??? When you look at the relay in the fuse box, it has two of four wires with 12v, and as soon as you put the relay in, 3 of 4 have 12v. The 4th is the wire that makes the horn blow when it gets 12v, but I have no clue where it ends up inside the car??? I'm confused even writing about it. I'll post pics.

Someone did a writeup about this some time ago, I'll look for it.

NP. There was also a thread with wiring colors from Majiktib, said the horn was pink and white.

theres a small black harness comming from the steerign column and if u cut it open there are only 2 wires in it... ones constantly ground the other is the horn wire... i cant remmber the wire color but its only 2 wires in the harness. if u cut open a harness and there are more wires in there then that is not the harness. hope that makes it easier to find!

I'll snap pics today. I pulled the stock column out of my RD doner car, and I know the wiring has been plenty hacked on the RD2 column where I have my aftermarket wheel. You'll see.
