Default Whats up with the horn wire ??

Wire for horn ?? is it that wire hanging under the engine ????

I saw something in the past that stated that.
I have had some kind of wire hanging under the engine, that is now separated from pressure wash.
Now , my horn don't work..

Is there a better way to route that wire etc....

That would most likely be it. But, the wire is like a harness that breaks off into 4 separate wires (2 for the low tone horn, 2 for the high tone) Is this only 1 wire you are seeing? If 1 wire is hanging one of the tones on your horn is disconnected. But, if thats the case 1 would still function (but sound really ****ty) It must be some other wire. Where exactly is the wire?

Oh, thats not it then

I just went and stuck my head under, now that I can see stuff ( 2 cans engine cleaner and pressure washer ). I used to have a thick coating of oil/dirt over everything..

Anyway, here's pics

IIRC, that ground wire will cause the horns to stop working if disconnected.

led, you said it, thats the ground wire alright. You did connect it right? Do you really how many people you can't honk at after they keep cutting you off and brake-checking you during rush hour!?

Well it's kind of chewed up. I'd like to replace the wire.
Where does it attach to up top ??.
I'll just run some heavy wire and attach at that crossmember place.
