I have an aftermarket steering wheel and the horn button doesn't work great on it. I installed a aftermarket switch on the dash as you can see in the photo. Can someone tell me what positive wire to run or tap into for the switch. The aftermarket horn already has a proper relay attached to it. Just trying to figure out the easiest way to get the switch to make the horn blow. Thanks!
Im 99% sure all the wiring to the horn is stock.

Typically, power is connected to one side of the OEM horn and a ground is used as the "trigger" to sound the horn.
