got my airhorn but ran into a major issue help!
when i bought my truck the previous owner i guess had removed the horn or something so i ordered a air horn not like a 500 dollar kit but like 2 chrome horns and a little compressor from jc whitney it says it just plugs into where your stock horn was well theres my problem i cant find it
any help would be much appreciated
oh its a 1996 dodge ram single cab 360

it is supposed to be directly under the passenger headlight. there is a bundle of wires and you should have 2 that are green with a red strip and 2 black wires, these are the horn wires, one green/red and one black for each horn.
well i guess it would be on the drivers side then. because i don't think they did any big changes from 95-96 like they did in 98. i think the wire colors would be the same though.
edit- you beat me to it laramie.

On my 95' I had to trace the wires by disconnecting the horns and then following them.
Some of it was on the driver's side, but if I recall the stuff went across to the other side...
By the time it was all said and done I had pulled most of the wires out from up behind the bumper/radiator
and what have you, I found the entire ordeal about as frustrating...
The big thing is to connect the relay to the 12v hot that comes live when the horn button
inside the truck is pushed, beyond that you might have better luck but I ended up using
all new wires from relay-to-horn and battery and ground, took me another few hours but in
the end it was all good.
A voltage tester came in handy, also connecting the compressor straight just to see if it blows air
works for the purpose of determining voltage leads, the thing makes enough noise you can hear it
so long the engine's off.
