So...knowing that, what do you suggest?
I'm so grateful for all yours and Carl's advice.

For a self grounded horn, you should use a relay. Wire power to the relay common contact, from the relay NO contact to the horn. Wire power (a jumper) to one relay coil contact and the other relay coil contact to your horn button (assuming its the stock horn button, which supplies a ground). Be sure to put a fuse on the power wire to the relay.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
