The horn circuit goes from 12V power, through the horn, to the horn button which then ground to the frame to complete the circuit. Does your horn not work? Or did you just stumble across a wire with power on it and wonder why?

As for the control, post up in the "parts wanted" section. I'm sure someone has something.

no horn and trun signals not working
signals worked if you moved the switch and jiggled it horn works once in a while

You may need to invest $5 into a can of electrical contact cleaner. Take apart the electrical connectors and give them a good spray. Youll find a bunch of them in the head light bucket. If you want to splurge get some dielectric grease to seal them up from further corrosion. Spray the horns out really good too. Thats how I got my horns working again.
