    it should only have one wire going to the back. the metal lip of the horn pad is the earth

    Two wires on the boss kit horn button, one from the factory wire and the other from the button to earth (the boss) to complete the circuit.

    Try touching the factory wire directly to earth to test the horn and go from there.

    ended up being faulty wire from the boss kit, so was easier to9 just get another boss kit, and works all fine now.

    thanks for all help and input guys
