Hi everybody, happy to be here… Can someone give me a clue how to wire this lighted horn button…?
It’s got 5 prongs and I’m clueless… I need to know so I can finally hook up my Wolo Siberian Express… ANY help would be awesome…

What you’ve got there is essentially a standard microswitch (the bottom part with the 3 prongs) with an illuminated push button mounted on top.
Terminals are like this:
The two outer prongs will be for the light in the button; Depending on the light source (incandecent or led) there will be some marking as to + and -, as well as a voltage rating.
The three terminals on the microswitch will be one COM (i.e. common; that’s the one on the bottom), one NC (meaning Normally Closed), and one NO (meaning Normally Open).
So… to connect it in a horn function (as a momentary switch):
I THINK I get it… But I’m planning to wire this completely separate from my existing factory horn. I didn’t want to have to cut the existing factory horn wire…
Welcome to the Forum. Conceal the train horn switch and system very well and you might escape a ticket if you get pulled over.
Welcome to the forum.
Take 12v + to the COM terminal & connect the wire to your solenoid to the NO terminal, & the rest as DBO said:D
The 12v + to the light on the switch, really wants to come off the accessories supply, so when your put your keys in the ignition the light on the Horn switch comes on.
