    So I've been struggling trying to fix my horn for the past couple of weeks
    on my Saturn SL1 '96. The old horn finally died so I unplugged the wiring
    from the old horn. Also, I cut the wiring to remove the special connector
    plug because I was planning to install a non Saturn OEM horn. I
    went to Autozone and bought a similar FIAM horn (without the built in
    relay) and a Bosch 30Amp 12VDC relay switch separately. I connected the red
    wire (+) to the Bosch relay "30", the ground black wire to the switch "86",
    and the black wire (-) to one of the two connectors on the horn. Then I had
    a separate wire which connected the relay switch "87" to the second contact
    on the horn. Supposedly this should work but not. So I'm finally stuck and
    ready to go to a Saturn dealership and pay them $$$ to have this stupid
    horn problem fixed. I'm thinking it's the black ground wire that's not
    working (switch). I tested the positive and negative and does sound the horn. Does anyone know where the power is coming from black ground wire?
    I don't have a multimeter nor do I have the latest wiring schematic for
    SL1'96. My Haynes manual is for '95 and it doesn't show the black ground
    wire. Anyways, if anyone has a clue how I can go about resolving this,
    that'll be great. I still have a 30 days left on my 2nd car
    inspection...the first one failed cuz the horn wasn't work. :(
