Hooking up two horns
I picked up two OEM horns, one high and the other low tone. Since I bought my Jeep without a working horn (it's there, just not hooked up, but I don't know where the cable is), and having never actually installed or done anything with setting up a car horn, I was wondering if anyone can give me some tips or advice.

Oh OK, there should already be two? I know for sure there's one, but I didn't really check for the other. So I'll mount them there then, now how do I hook them up? Is there a certain way I have to run the wires to get to the wheel? And would it be easier hooking them to the wheel, or if I wanted to wire them to a push button on my dash, would that be about the same difficulty?
Thanks!
Thanks!

So I looked at one of my horns, on the right of the vehicle (while facing the grill), and there was no wire connected to it. I also looked on the other side, near the vac ball, and didn't see another horn. I'll replace the first horn with one of my new ones, but where do I replace the second one? Also, if I were to run new wires to a button on my dash, how would I do that? Is there a simple way of telling me how to route the cable to the inside? And I take it I just wire up both horns to the button, and that makes them both work?
Thanks
Thanks

I ran a separate horn button on 65 Chevy P/U. I just ran one wire from the horn into the cab to the switch and ran a second from the battery to the switch Without any relays. I know that I should have put one somewhere in there but I didn't. I did this about 10 years ago and never had a problem.

OK, so it's really simple then. What's the best (or only) way to get the wire inside the cab? And if I'm looking up a high and a low horn, I wire both horns to the button and the battery, right?
Thanks
Thanks
