Trainhorn wiring issues???

I bought a train horn and the wiring instructions are pretty vauge. Besides the fact i'm not very fluent with electrical work. Can anyone just give me the basics?

In my kit I have the tank and compressor(2 wires,power n ground),horn(2 wires, both black), switch with two connections,and a relay with five wires. red,blue,yellow,black,and white

the wires on the horn are an electric valve, at least that is how mine was, Just hook one to the positve and the other to the negative of the stock horn if you want the regular horn button on the steering wheel. the run your air hose to the tank and compressor, wire the compressor positive to the battery with fuse then the negative through the psi switch then to the frame. That how i did mine.

I didn't, the relay is to for adding a aftermarket switch for the horn.

I'd love to put train horns on mine. Too dang expensive.
