Stock horn has a wire to the ring. The ring runs to ground.

The little wire that looks like it doesn't go to anything,you put it under one of the screws that holds the wheel to the hub,and that gives the horn button a grounding point.

maybe i should post pictures of what it looks like . . . theres one wire connected to a ring on the hub that has a connector that matches the connection on the underside of the horn button (male to female) There is a second male connection on the underside of the horn button which im assuming is for power (if the other one is the ground) but were does the power come from . . . . ?

I believe power comes from the horn relay. Power goes to the relay, so when you ground it the relay pulls in and the horn is powered.
