4.2 Installation Steps
- Connect to Battery: Identify the red and black wires with ring terminals. Connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal of your vehicle's 12V battery and the black wire to the negative (-) terminal or a suitable ground point. Ensure connections are secure.

This typically involves connecting to the trigger wire that activates the horn.

- Connect Horns: The harness provides two sets of red and black wires for connecting up to two grille-mounted electric blasting horns (horns not included). Connect the red wire from the harness to the positive terminal of each horn and the black wire to the negative terminal of each horn.
