No, it's not the white wire. The wire from the horn button on the steering column is black and is a ground. There are three wires that go to the horn relay. A orange wire from the "ACC" fuse to pin "A", a black wire from the horn button (switch) to pin "B", and a dark green wire from pin "C" of the relay to the horns.

so just ground that black wire in the turn signal wire thing and the horn will go off? I know exactly why it doesnt work, and i wanna just make it a button temporarily to pass safety. I asked around and they said a button would do just fine... so just wire a switch button to the black wire?

thanks dude :hail:

Are you talking about the black wire on the turn signal cam follower?

Okay, the horn button wire (#138) in the last picture goes into a little tower on a ring that makes contact with the turn signal cam follower. This where the ground is and the horn wire plugs into that tower. See picture and you will see that tower and cam follower.
