    I replaced my horn and hooked it up to the wiring from the original horn wiring

    The horn worked twice and stopped, I only used one of the leads fore the horn, and grounded the replacement horn to the frame.

    Now it doesn't work, do I need to hook up the other lead to the positive side of the new horn, or is the relay bad?

    Any help would be appreciated.


    Thanks

    You can test the wire to the horn with a voltmeter. See if when pressing the horn, sends voltage.

    If yes, then it is a grounding issue or the horn itself. If no voltage, then the relay or possibly the clock spring.
