This is the one.. Looking at the wiring I need three wires but the one I have has only 2 wires. It is under the dash to my left. I bought an expensive steering wheel, and a while after I had it, it would blow the horn when I turned left, which was annoying, especially if someone was crossing the street in front of me. So a momentary switch was installed. Now I would like to install one that looks like a necker nob on the steering wheel. In the picture at the bottom left, there is a diagram of the wiring board.

Should be simple, I assume the circuit board will be under/behind the dash, positive and negative battery connections on the board, horn wire that was from your steering column would connect at the "horn" terminal. Definitely would use a relay to energize the horn.

It is wireless. I think I have figured it out. The extra connection wire goes to the horn. I found another one that you take the steering wheel off and mount a plate between the steering wheel and the shaft.Like this.. Then I got to thinking how many times I needed to use the horn.

Living in Atlanta, I use the horn more than the brakes!

I think some people think the brakes are energized by the horn button especially in the BIG city smile
