It's a Chevy steering wheel with the bow tie in the middle.  I got that under the hood horn..... LOL.  I was asking how the airhorns are activated....    sorry for the confusion....

I believe you have to turn on the ignition and then you should--should--hear the air compressor pumping. If not then you will have to start checking the wiring circuit and try to locate the air horn button--this if the steering wheel horn actuates the "car" horn.
