    So, ive been looking at this wire for about two weeks now. no idea where it goes. its not encased in yellow like the airbags, (I have no horn, airbag light is on, and my abs works like crap.

    The only two things in that area on mine are the washer pump and the horn wires, I'm leaning towards the horn wires myself.

    hrm, my washer pump works fine, it very well could be ghetto wired though. unfortunatly its 8pm so a pic will have to wait till morning. I know that the horn currently has wiring, a ground, and a single wire. The circled though is a dual wire in a very stiff casing?

    Well, merged turn signals into corner markers and got a better idea of what I'm looking at. Itsonly a single wire, comes into the front with the turn signal wires. I attached two more pics of a close up, it appears to be factory ziptied in its current location?

    That's your horn.
    It's a power wire.
    Your horn is grounded via the horn bracket itself to the body.

    100% positive.
