Wiring diagram with munit - REVIEW

Look at your horn.
Does it have 1 wire at the horn?
If it does the the horn is grounded at the frame where it mounts.
The button controls a +12v line only.
You'll probably have to flip the button on the handlebar from +12v to ground.
I flipped everything in my handlebar switches to ground.

Of course this is just a guess--i have been absent for most of this thread.

ok, i looked at a schematic.
It looks like the horn button is grounded to the switch housing.
The switch housing will have to be installed on the handelbar and the handlebar grounded for the horn button to work and send a ground signal to your munit.
You could also run a separate ground wire to the switch housing just in case your handlebar is isolated from ground.
You should be able to get continuity between the switch housing bare metal(the bottom half where the button is located) and the horn wire coming out of the housing when you press the horn button.

Weired why they have done it like that… and only horn… I will try to to solid a new ground cable from a good place to a exsisting ground cable in the house. The house will not get ground it self, the steering has paint on the handelbar.

In the original OE set up the horn is the only "switched" ground. This is done to reduce wiring (and production cost) the car world does the same grounding horns to the steering column. If you follow the switch wiring configuration I gave you then blue the brown and the orange are already grounds so you can loop off of them rather than run an additional wire to the ground plate in the switch
