92 Ram factory horn wiring

These trucks came factory with HI and Low horns. Low horn is bad and I cant find it anywhere. I want to replace with some aftermarket horns. However aftermarket horns come with 2 posts for wiring, factory only has one post.
Would I have to run a wire from ground to another post on aftermarket horn?

Here's a link to these horns on Amazon.

Amazon Amazon


They appear to come with a relay and a wiring harness so you should follow instructions. I would say that yes you would have to connect them to ground and the feed for the horns to a minimum. I don't know if I would use the relay if your built-in relay is working. To much complexity subtracts from reliability. Use the relay for something else like your headlights. And No. I don;t mean to wire your headlights to your horn although that may not be a bad idea.

Yeah I am sure Deere country would have those, or I know I have a few sets.
Finding the parts is not that hard, you just need to ask the right guy.

I replaced mine with a chromed Bad Boy horn. Very easy install, even mounted to the factory brackets. Can be found at any auto parts store on the shelves.

It has a very annoying tone, lol, but not to me.

I might as well. I already have the cowcatcher bumper.

Rice burners shake in fear when they hear my Cummins.

Upgrade your truck with a 70’s era Road Runner horn, I am sure no one will believe what they just heard.

I upgraded my factory horn with a 20” Grover air horn, and @175 psi
It really gets their attention.

I want to install a Stutter tone on mine.
