You just mount the horn to your frame (make sure it has a good ground) then hook your existing wire up to that spade on it.

I think the original horn wire is a female spade.

What ground wire? Does you wiring have a ground wire?

those look grounded via the mounting bracket...

I would think that you could just cut your connetor off then if it does not work and put a female spade on the hot.

This wouldn't have to do with a alarm system would it?
