    New CCOT Horn Relay installed but Horn isnt working.

    I have a new oem relay. Does it need to have a ground wire? I can get the horns to work by placing positive 12 volts to the post on the horn and ground to the negative battery post. I'm not able to get the horn to work by using the buttons on the steering wheel. Any suggestions?
