      2006 Aveo Horn Issue: Need Help On Replacing Horn

      Hi, I'm in need of help trying to replace my 2006 hatchback Chevy Aveo's horn. I simply don't know how to do it. I checked the fuses and they seemed to be okay. I don't know how to actually check the horn itself because all the guides online seem to be different from the actual horn since I can't find any ground terminals but the wiring seems okay.

      I purchased a new horn from an auto parts store but it's different than the Chevy Aveo's OEM horn. On the Aveo's OEM horn the way I found it when I opened the hood, there's a connector bracket to the car and the electrical wiring connector, then that's it. There's nothing for the ground terminals or any other type of wiring that's required for the horn I bought and the electrical wiring connector doesn't work at all with it.

      Is there a way to still use the horn I bought or am I better off getting the OEM horn? I've read other guides online about people who have replaced the horn but I don't know how to do it because of the ground terminal wires, I don't know what to do with them, and the electrical connector, I don't know what to do with that either.

      For reference, this is what I bought:

      Wolo Maxi-Sound Twin Horn Kit, Model# 320-2T | Air Horns Sirens| Northern Tool + Equipment

      And this is the OEM horn:

      Chevrolet GM 04 08 Aveo Horn 96403170 | eBay

      you can take the existing connector off the horn by cutting the wires about two to three inches from the connector. Solder a Y from the connector to the new horns. If the horns are air powered then the connector will just go to the compressor.
      Please do not power off, firmware update pending.....

      I have started a thread on adding additional horns. I am adding new wiring for mine. In your case you could follow my mounting guide and still use the existing horn wiring.

      I need help with my horn, I've checked the fuses and I've seen that the horn itself works but there is still no sound when I press the horn buttons. I've been struggling with this problem for a while and any help would be much appreciated, thank you
