Unhappy horn wiring

I have a 2005 Ford F-250 super duty truck and am trying to install a remote starter. I cannot find the wire(s) coming from the horn! I need to find these to finish the install. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Well mine is an '04, so I'm not sure if it would be the same....but it probably is. The horn wire on mine is in a plug to the right of the steering column. It is a small blue wire. Maybe 18 or 20 gauge? It is ground switched, so if you check it with a meter it will be reading a constant 12v until you hit the button.

Hope that helps!
Matt

Hey Paul,

Darth is correct, its a blue wire, even in the 2005's. The wire is located in the 6-way connector to the right of the steering column.
