OK -I tried search and came up with nothing?!?

Maybe the experts can help:

My horn quit working so I tested it with a wire directly to the battery - Nothing!

I figured it would be a good time to upgrade so I bought the Hella 118db horn kit from Quadratec. Well I get the kit and their are two horns in the box with a relay and some wiring diagrams that don't really make sense. Their are also 2 electrical prongs on each horn, not one like the factory horn?!?

Has anyone installed the Hella horn kit and their CJ and is willing to help a newbie out?

Thanks in advance for a solution!
 
Well I think a quick Google search answered my question:
 
My jeep already has a horn relay under the hood,to the left of the master cylinder,against the firewall comming out of the large main wire harness split loom. It has 4wires hooked to it.
The orange wire w/tracer goes to your horn. Have someone push your horn and check with a test light from horn wire at the horn to a good ground. If you have power than just hook up the new horns to one side of connector and ground for the other side of each horn.
If you don't have power the horn wire won't do any good to trigger the new ralay setup.

The stock horn only has 1 terminal cause it grounds throu the horn mount to the fender. Mine had a bad ground but I replaced the horn because it sounded so tinny.
