    You know the clips that hold the air filter in? When turbo blew it broke all those clips xD They want $650 just for that small housing area on my truck... Ill find one cheaper so its being held together with zipties xD

    Lol. Only you!!

    Good thing it went towards the windshield. Otherwise you would be asking " Anyone know a good dentist that can put my front teeth back in"

    Remember a horn always has power going to it. Pushing the button on the steering wheel provides the ground to compete the circuit. Using a test light or voltmeter, check to make sure you have power at the horn. If you do then run a ground to the horn to make sure it isn't junk, unlikely but only takes a moment to make sure. Assuming the horn is good the next place to go is where the wires come out of the steering column. Splice a new ground into it at the point. If it sounds them the problem is in the steering column or the button itself.

    You're right. I could buy a new 7.5 kw Onan and the roof air installed for the price of the tripac and have a much more reliable set up and better power for my appliances.

    Cummins Onan makes a 6k diesel too, do you think you'd need more than that?

    Horn works tested it with a jumper. Relay is working it's a issue from the fuse box to the wire itself :( Not something I can easily take apart out here as the whole dash needs to come off to see the wires.

    Did you check the ground going into the steering column? If it's good there then it has to be in the column or the button itself.

    The ground is good on the steering wheel I used it for my test light. I've tried jumping the button by touching it directly to the steering wheel column nothing. Also not getting power to the horn itself. The horn should always be hot and it's not :(
