Does it matter which side the wires go on when connecting the horn from the wiring harness?

It's a new Sparton horn from Bratton's if that makes any difference. The instructions just say "Plug in the wires."

FWIW: the horn is always hot, the button on the steering wheel completes the circuit. Positive ground is a natural ground not negative. Run a positivecground wire to your frame, body and transmission. Draw a circuit diagrahm to see whats going on with out these grounds.

Read post #17 from MikeK on the correct way to install the horn wire connections. Many make the mistake on installing the pigtail ends incorrectly.

Mine installed from the bottom but I had to file the bullet ends a bit as they were oversized (as per Bratton's instructions).

Works fine every time.

Thanks Guys
