Forgot to write something down again. Replaced the upper steering column bearing on my `59 Chevy 1/2 ton. Where does the tan wire from the bearing plug into? I don't see a stray wire hanging under the dash, so it figure it mush go to a switch or fuse block.

The wire coming out of the column completes the ground at the horn relay. It does not go to the fuse block. The horn button is the switch.

So, all I need to do is ground that wire?

No, it goes to the horn relay. When the button is pushed it grounds the relay.

Found it. I had the other half of the plug tucked above the e-brake handle.
