Default Quick Release Horn Button

It has been a couple of months now without my horn. Having done a quick release install on my Type R and being very simple to wire a spring loaded push button to work as a horn. Now with my 92 LS it isn't so simple and I am quite unsure of how to wire the push button I am planning on mounting to the side of the plastic shroud surrounding the steering column. Any body else do this for the LS and which wires specifically were grounded (if it is the same system used by Honda) to have the horn going again. I am tired of people cutting me off and me having to resort to other ways to attract their attention. Thanks in advance!!!!

Never mind, I did some tinkering and found the wire that needs to be grounded between the harness and the button. I will provide pictures and a how to on how to do this.

I'm in the middle of it ill post it up tonight or tommorow morning. Its quite simple just need to know which is the horn plug on the harness connector but with a simple wire trace to the stock steering wheel revealed the answer.

I did this with my Grip Royal steering wheel and NRG quick release a while back. Just pinned in to the wire that actuated the horn (not sure which) and ran it to a paper clip that I secured behind the short hub. Works like a charm.
