    Z521 Bow horn wire

    I have a 2011 Z521 and over the years of removing the bow plate time after time i have managed to lose the horn wires. I have tried to find them and they just disappeared. I went as far as using my Milwaukee snake camera down the gunnel to find them to no avail. I have no problem pulling new wire for it but have no clue what wire it is under the console. Any thoughts on this?

    Look on the back of the switch. One post will have power, 12v, and the other will be 0v. Hit the switch and check that post for power, you may just have a bad switch. If you run a new wire, that's the post to connect it to.

    Wish it were that simple. My rig has the push button key pad and everything under is in a couple wire harnesses. I am teying to figure out which one of those is the horn wire.

    It’s been awhile since mine has been off but I thought it was on the bow light connector

    Thats the wire I am missing. I am trying to figure what wire it is under the console so I can pull a new one up to the bow.

    Click on the link that I provided for Ranger owners manuals, scroll down to the bottom and you will see links to all the older Ranger owner manuals. Just click on the 2011 manual, it has a wiring diagram in the manual, I believe the diagram you need is on page 48.
