Which wire is for the horn?

I want to connect my horn to a button elsewhere. The problem is that the original wire spins withe the wheel, and this is causing problems. Can anyone tell me what color the wire is that goes to the ground for the horn. Id like to splice in at the column. Thanks for the help.

I think that the wire is yellow. However, this is the "hot" wire; the horn is grounded to the metal on the column itself.

Has anyone hooked up a switch for the horn? How do you do it?

From the horn relay, there should be a black wire going to the steering column. It completes the ground for the relay using the horn button.

Splice this (black) wire to a switch, ground the other end of the switch.
