Replacement Horn Wiring

[JustAnotherVictim]

I'm trying to replace the wussy stock horn and I can't get it to stay quiet and honk when I press the horn. I have one wire that is yellow with a blue stripe and another that is a white-ish color. Do I need them both connected or do I cover one and ground the other? I am kinda lost and my wiring diagram doesn't clarify things since they are different colors than specified :1zhelp:

There should be 3 wires around the steering wheel, 2 wires for the cruise control, one for the horn, although I dont recall the color the horn will go of if it is touched to anything that can pose a ground on the car. The easiest way to mess with the horn is disconnect your battery

I mean inside the engine bay where the actual horn is at

Ok thread resurrection. I was looking through some wiring diagrams and it says Theft Deterrent Horn. I know there are at least two horns in the engine bay. I only have one hooked up at the moment and that is the one in the front of the car behind the bumper. What I want to know is are these horns on separate circuits or the same?

As it stated above I had been trying to wire up a replacement with no sucess. The color of the wires do not match up with the color specified in the digrams. The horn that is d/c at the moment is the one right in front of the driver in the engine bay. I tried every combination I could think of and I could not get it to work. The horn I have made noise when I hooked it up certain ways but it would stay on and never shut off. It's just a simple universal replacement horn with two female connectors and a removable wire for the ground.
Does anyone have an example of what they did?

jeez, don't bother with those wimpy horns, the stock replacement ones make no difference...ask me how I know... Get the hella Twin-Tone Air horns, totally easy to hook up, cheap ($30 on eBay), and they make your Supra sound just like a Porsche or Ferrari! Here's the write-up...

edit: I forgot to mention that they are loud as hell

The two horns behind the bumper are the normal horns. The one on the firewall is the TD horn.

OK thanks jetjock that helps alot.

John, trust me this horn is not wimpy, it doesn't sound like the stock jalopy horn.

LOL!! That was pretty damn funny, there were still a couple of asses tho.

No argument there.

I want to take the horn out of my '88 Buick Park Avenue and put it in my Supra. It has a two tone harmonic horn that sounds a lot like a freight train. It’s not as loud as the one in the video, but it still registers in at 128db. Plenty loud to clear traffic.

I think the one I got is either 130db or 115db I don't remember. It went off in my ear while I was messing with the wiring and it didn't feel so hot...

Ok so I was checking out the wiring and I pulled out one of the old horns and I can't get either one to respond now. Last time I used a horn it worked so I have no idea why it wouldn't be now. I didn't see any cracked wires or anything so I'm not sure what's up. My haz-horn fuse is ok too. This is the right wire right?
