Alright guys, bin a long time since ive even looked at my regy, thought id just get on with it tho

basically the last owner had chopped the o.e horn out and put a after market double trumpet horn in (filled with water and just used to gargle), he also put the horn on a new plunger switch just by the ignition barrel

so i brought a new cheapish horn from halfruads and was looking to put it on the original stalk but cant seem to get the wires right,

i was told that the blue wire was the horn.. but when i touch it with either;

*the live from the horn with a permanent earth on the other side of the horn i get nothing

*the earth from the horn with permanent live on the other side of the horn i also get nothing

the only way i get any beeping from the horn with either combination is if i touch the live (or red wires) in the block so just wondering if any one can help me???

thanks
