If my memory is correct from when I fitted a twin horn with original wiring loom to my diesel ZTT the connectors are as follows:
One connector for each horn
One connector for the slam panel alarm sensor
One connector for one of the tempature sensors
The main connector to connect the wiring loom to the car.

I hope this helps.

Many thanks for this, any tips for retiring with the twin horn loom or just follow existing?

I foll9wed the wiring of the original loom and used the push fit fixings which were on the twin horn loom and used some cable ties where needed.

I think the way I fitted the new loom was to disconnect the main connector for the old loom and connect the main connector for the new loom and then the twin horns before fitting to test it is fully working, then I partially remove the old loom and to photograph the fixing points on my phone as a reference guide for fitting the new loom. Once the new loom was in place I then connected the twin horns and bolted them in place and refitted the front bumper.

Don't forget if you disconnect/reconnect the outside temp sensor it may take a couple of days to recalibrate itself and til it does you'll get some crazy readings.

Don't forget that you may need to trip some of the bumper polystyrene packing piece to accommodate the offside horn before you put the bumper back, they changed this when the deleted the second horn and without the cut out will foul the horn.
