DIY gone wrong: Horn install. Need you smart people in here

I bought a Wolo Bad Boy from Kraegan. I tried to install it in my 07 Tundra by cutting the wires that lead to the right horn. One the stock horn the 2 wires joined together at a connector at one connection point on the horn. I did not do anything with the left horn, which I later noticed only has one wire.

I recreated the Totota connector by putting both wires to the positive connection on the Wolo horn. It did not work. Sometimes the stock horn on the left would even with the wolo not working.

I let it like that for a few days, and just today I decided to run a wire from the negative connection to ground and see if that would work. It did (I really can't tell for sure because it could have been the stock horn going) for one push of the horn, but the second push nothing happened. Since then, I have tried swiching up positive an negative, taking the 2 wires apart and putting them on positive and negative, and tryign with the left horn unplugged and plugged in. Nothing works now. No wolo or stock horn.

I need help figuring out what I did wrong and how to fix it. There is a humming that comes from the engine compartment now when I put the key to the ON position. It may have done that before, but I never noticed it.

The Wolo


Left stock horn


Wires that went to right horn


stock connector for the right horn


Where the connector goes into the stock horn (see how there is only one connection point for both wires)


How I originally wired it. That brown wire is the one I later used for ground.
