Wire new horn

[schmidt]

Hi

I am looking to wire in a new horn into my Peugeot 206cc (05).

Looks simply enough to just use old bracket and connect a new horn (aftermarket). However new horn I think is mostly plastic so will have to earth it a different way. Am thinking just fixing an earth wire from the negative terminal to the bracket bolt effectively skipping over the plastic.

If you look at the wiring diagrams 2 cables run into the horn from the fusebox. What is the second cable, an earth cable from the fusebox switch? Presumably I connect this to negative terminal too?

Thanks!

Having consulted the SEDRE wiring diagram, I confirm that the conductor connected to PIN 2 of the horn is wired to earth. It seems needless to separately wire the horn to earth.

Brilliant - thanks!

Pretty sure the original horns are plastic .. but the connector may also only fit original horns ..

They're half and half I think. Yeah I'm thinking of taking the connector off as just wiring straight to the new horn's two terminals and bypassing the connector issue.

I did that when I converted to air-horns .. the original wouldn't have made anything jump!
