Eric, the stock horn works by grounding a wire through the steering
wheel horn switch. You can add a second horn switch anywhere you like.
It is just 1 new wire you need to add from the existing horn ground wire
to the new switch. Then a short wire from that new switch to body metal.

What I would suggest for everybody is to install a horn relay like the
one sold by list member Jay Brown.
These install very simply and make the horn louder as well as more reliable.
