Horn Wire

I want to tap the horn wire so I can trigger a relay for an air horn. I have a 2002 F-350, does anyone know what wire under the dash I can tap? Another dumb question, where are the horns? I took a quick look under the hood and didn't see them. I mustbe going blind....

Horn Wire

The horn is located behind a plastic sheild inside the front bumper on the passenger side. Its kinda hard to see and get to. I just unplugged it there and hooked my air horn solenoid to the relay in the fuse panel under the dash for the factory horn.

Thanks, did you have to pull the fuse panel down or can you connect to the relay from front?

Horn Wire

It is a dark blue wire under the steering column. Also, be aware that it is a neg (-) wire. The horn is "hot" all the time and the switch just grounds the circuit. Therefore, you will need to power the relay (I didn't use one) separately.
