  2. If battery voltage is present in step 1), check for battery voltage at Dark Blue wire on socket side of connector. If battery voltage is present, press horn button. Voltage should drop to zero volts and horn should sound. If horn does not sound and voltage remains at 12 volts, ground Dark Blue wire.
