Replacing Horn 96 Saturn (Wiring and Access)

The horn on my 96 Saturn stopped work. As a replacement I purchased a FIAMM Freeway blaster. The Saturn connector has three wires and the replacement horn two wires. Will this part work or do I need a horn with the Saturn connector? Can the two black wires be crimped together?



I was able to remove the defective horn from below after removing the plastic air defector that is attached to the bumper. Attaching the new horn from below seems to be impossible without more room to play with. What is the best way to access the horn area?



Thanks

Do you know what the 3 wires on the connector are? Most horns are grounded to chassis and have only one terminal. The terminal goes to the horn relay which switches 12V. With these cars now being largely plastic, I am seeing more circuits that include a ground connection rather than relying on a chassis ground. Also, with all the computer diagnostics, there is often a

3rd sense wire that goes back to the computer to read whether the circuit was completed. Just understand what the original circuit was doing before you change things.

ground, 12v high, 12v low

the relay in the 96+ s-series is built into the horn - in '91-'95 cars, it is in the fuse block. so one wire is the gound, 2nd wire is the 12v constant, and the 2rd wier is the 12v signal when you hit the button.
