Question Wiring diagram for horn

Anyone got a wiring diagram and/or wire colors for the horn circuit for a '95? I have been trying to figure out why mine won't work but the Haynes manual doesn't show the horn wiring (I know I need the Dodge manual). The relay for the horn will not even "click" when the button is pressed and I an trying to trace the wires from the buttons on the wheel to the relay.

Thanks!!

Just a thought but does the wheel have wires to the steering column or a disk with contacts running on it?

could very well be something like that.

Watch the air bag if you decide to get in there to have a look.

It has wires, also known as the clockspring. They do go bad, most times you will also lose cruise control and the air bag light may come on. They were under recall on some years.

The clockspring was replaced already, and as for the airbag - that's why I was looking for a wiring diagram. The cruise works great so I want to be able to check the wires from the steering wheel/column to the rest of the horn stuff.

Thanks!

Have you tried to make the horn work with just some jumper wires? Bad fuse possibly? Is the horn disconnected, or have corroded contacts? Broken wires?
Try chasing the wires from the horn itself first.
Better yet, put an airhorn on your rig

I like the air horn idea!! but first I would like to check the wires coming from the steering column. The horn works (makes noise connected directly to the battery) but the relay does not click-fuse is OK. This is why I was looking for a wiring diagram or wire color codes.

Thanks!
